Evaluation of Concrete Structures<br />

An interesting thing is that the trend seems to go in a more conservative direction<br />

when it comes to concrete fatigue. Because the newest Code is the most conservative<br />

one!<br />

More work is needed in this area and it might be an idea to keep the “old” equation<br />

(the one in the EC2-1 (1991)) to calculate the design shear strength when the fatigue<br />

capacity is studied.<br />

The studied codes generally give too conservative values, especially for high strength<br />

concrete. Further work is needed in this area, especially regarding the shear force<br />

capacity.<br />
