Abstract
The paper presents results of an investigation to study the flexural fatigue performance of concrete beams made with 100% Coarse Recycled Concrete Aggregates (RCA). Experimental investigation has been carried out to obtain the flexural fatigue lives of concrete beam specimens of size 100 × 100 × 500 mm at various stress levels under four points flexural fatigue loading. The test data is used to plot the S-N curves and a simple regression analysis is used to propose an equation to estimate the flexural fatigue strength of concrete made with 100% RCA. The flexural fatigue performance of concrete made with 100% RCA has been assessed in terms of its mean and design fatigue lives. Two million cycles fatigue strength/endurance limit has also been estimated and compared with the previous studies available on Coarse Natural Aggregates (NA).
