First phase: Sinusoidal waveform
Fatigue test were performed in controlled strain mode (250 µε) at the temperature of 5°C using a sinusoidal waveform at a frequency of 10 Hz on beams reinforced/un reinforced
![Page 11: Assess the - Departamento de Engenharia Civil · Assess the improvement of the life cycle through four point bending test on prismatic beams reinforced at the bottom with a geo-composite](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050201/5f5513984cd2eb6e707b3b17/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Sinusoidal waveform
The sinusoidal waveform produces at each cycle the maximum strain either at the bottom side and on the surface
With this configuration it’s possible that, in the case of Reinforced beam, the crack starts on the surface – the side not reinforced with geo-composite

In that case the fatigue behavior of the two beams could be the same or even better for the un-reinforced and rehabilitation with reinforcement becomes useless

Second Phase: Haversine waveform
In light of the fact that traffic loading induces the maximum tensile strain at the bottom of the layer…is justified the will to reproduce with laboratory tests this type of solicitations:Haversine waveform in strain control mode at 350 µε

• A more proper evaluation of the reinforcement efficiency in terms of life cycle increase could be done investigating only the phase of macro-cracks initiation and propagation (Nf-Ni)
• The use of the geo-composite reinforcement as rehabilitation method allowed to implement, on average, 4 times the fatigue life during the spread of the macro-cracks
![Page 20: Assess the - Departamento de Engenharia Civil · Assess the improvement of the life cycle through four point bending test on prismatic beams reinforced at the bottom with a geo-composite](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050201/5f5513984cd2eb6e707b3b17/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
• Carrying on the comparison at different temperatures;
• Repeat the tests at different value of controlled strain to determine the fatigue laws for the reinforced/un reinforced material.
