Assessment of the Post-Cracking Fatigue Behavior of Steel and Polyolefin Fiber-Reinforced Concrete

Some types of fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) such as steel fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC) or polyolefin fiber-reinforced concrete (PFRC) are suitable for structural uses but there is still scarce knowledge regarding their flexural fatigue behavior. This study aimed to provide some insight into th...
