ABSTRACT
The four point bending tests are carried out with a load controlled hydraulic actuator. During the static and dynamic tests, the vertical displacement
1 INTRODUCTION
Although a substantial amount of research has been carried out on the fresh, mechanical and transport properties and on the durability of SCC (De Schutter & Audenaert 2007, De Schutter & Boel 2007, De Schutter et al. 2008), there is still a lack of knowledge regarding its fatigue resistance. Therefore, in this experiment, the deflection, strain, and crack width evolution of reinforced concrete beams during static and dynamic loading tests are examined. Comparing VC to SCC, clearly indicates that there are differences regarding deformation and crack pattern.
