  1. FAA Center Annual Review – Champaign, IL, October 7, 2004 Fatigue and Fracture Behavior of Airfield Concrete Slabs Prof. S.P. Shah (Northwestern University) Prof. J.R. Roesler (UIUC) Dr. Bin Mu David Ey (NWU) Amanda Bordelon (UIUC)

  2. Research Work Plan • Finite Element Simulation of Cracked Slab • Concrete slab compliance • Develop preliminary R-curve for concrete slab • Small-scale fracture parameters • Fatigue crack growth model • Model Validation

  3. Large-Scale Concrete Slab Tests

  4. Typical S-N Curves for Concrete Fatigue

  5. Summary of Approach • The load – crack length (compliance) response obtained from static loading acts as an envelope curve for fatigue loading. • The condition KI = KIC can be used to predict fatigue failure. • Fatigue crack growth rate has two stages: deceleration stage and acceleration stage.

  6. Static Envelope Static loading acts as an envelope curve for fatigue loading (Subramaniam, K. V., Popovics, J.S., & Shah, S. P. (2002), Journal of Engineering Mechanics, ASCE 128(6): 668-676.)

  7. The crack growth in deceleration stage is governed by R-curve. • The crack growth in acceleration stage is governed by KI.
