Abstract

Fatigue behaviour of anchor bolts has been studied by means of pull-out tests carried out on concrete slabs. Three types of anchorage have been tested by applying sinusoidal shaped loading cycles. Analysis performed with fatigue behaviour of anchorage according to the maximum cyclic load. Damage propagation is studied as a function of the number of loading cycles. Energy dissipated of cycles, compliance and displacement of anchorage have been chosen to study anchorage behaviour. Experimental results have shown a relationship between the displacement in static tests and the displacement in dynamic tests. Therefore by means of the static pull-out test, it is possible to point out the fundamental feature that governs the cyclic behaviour.
