Experimental study of low cycling fatigue in armed concrete elements due to flexion
Journal Title: Gaceta Técnica - Year 2017, Vol 18, Issue 1
Abstract
In this work, an experimental study of low cycling fatigue in reinforced concrete elements with dominant flexural behavior is developed. The reinforced concrete elements are subjected to cycles of displacement until rupture. A total of two bending beams were tested. In each cycle, the degradation of the resistance and rigidity due to the effect of low cycling fatigue is evaluated. Preliminary results and observations are presented and discussed. The tests are relevant to develop an analytical model of non-linear behavior that describes the degradation of strength and rigidity of reinforced concrete structures subjected to severe earthquakes

Road accidents in Mexico and its relationship with daylight saving time
The objective proposed in this work was to find out if there is a relationship between the beginning of summer time in Mexico and the number of road accidents, since the entrance of such schedule causes fatigue, which is...
