computing fatigue variables in Reinforcing Steel

Post by parasismique » Fri Jul 24, 2020 4:18 pm

Dear colleagues,

I am wrapping up Reinforcing Steel material with a fatigue material to use in RC column.

Please, How can i calibrate (or calculate parameters) fatigue material variables for ajusting it for this material?

I appreciate your hep.

You can check the paper of Brown and Kunnath (2004) for adjusting the values of the variables

Brown, Jeff, and Sashi K. Kunnath. "Low-cycle fatigue failure of reinforcing steel bars." Materials Journal 101, no. 6 (2004): 457-466.
