Topic: Fatigue of concrete in tension

Hello,

I found an article on fatigue of concrete in tension in your newsletter published on July 2010.

I have two questions related to that.

1. With ATENA, can I do fatigue analysis of concrete in tension? Do I need to buy another software for that?

2. After the fatigue analysis, can I plot deformation-cycle curve?

Thank you in advance.

Re: Fatigue of concrete in tension

Hello,
the fatigue material model for concrete is available in ATENA Science (ATENA-GiD). The model is still being developed/improved, which also means there are not many user-friendly functions for handlig the results etc.

If you are interested in the model, I can recommend our article from the Fatigue 2010 conference:

You can also install the DEMO version and look into the fatigue material and interval settings in our ATENA-GiD interface to get the feeling and maybe try a very small example. We are here to help if you do so.
