Rational assessment of flexural fatigue characteristics of ferrocement for reliable design

The shortcoming of a design method based on a stress-life ( S-N) plot is pointed out and a new method based on a probability-stress-life ( P-S -N) plot is proposed. Rectangular stress distribution is shown to be better for predicting steel stress when designing ferrocement against fatigue by using t...

Summary:The shortcoming of a design method based on a stress-life ( S-N) plot is pointed out and a new method based on a probability-stress-life ( P-S -N) plot is proposed. Rectangular stress distribution is shown to be better for predicting steel stress when designing ferrocement against fatigue by using the P-S-N relationship of wire tested in the air. The inclusion of runouts in regression analysis is found to lead to more reliable P-S-N relationships.
