Effects of fatigue loading and environmental erosion on the damage of reinforced concrete bridges

ABSTRACT: Current researches were mainly conducted on the fatigue damage or environmental erosion of reinforced concrete bridges. Researches on the coupling effects of the corrosion and fatigue damages are few. Through the analysis of the bar corrosion and fatigue damage process, the Damage accumulation models were set up, which provides the basis for the evaluation of the bearing capacity of reinforced concrete girders.
