| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study evaluates the compressive and splitting tensile strength of concrete cylinders, as well as RC beam flexure properties, via static loading and fatigue testing carried out on specimens under controlled ambient temperature and moisture content conditions. The results showed that while dry concrete was unaffected by ambient temperature, water saturated concrete specimens showed reduced static strength as well as a reduction in the number of fatigue failure cycles under normal temperature conditions. However, those same saturated concrete specimens showed an increase in static compressive strength under low-temperature (freezing) conditions. Furthermore, the flexural behavior of RC beams under water saturation conditions showed load carrying capacity and fatigue resistance reductions under normal temperature conditions, but increased load carrying capacity under low-temperature conditions.
