Abstract
Cold-rolled large-diameter ribbed steel bars have higher strength than hot-rolled steel bars but are susceptible to cracks, particularly at the root of the ribs, owing to the manufacturing process. This study investigated steel bars of 75 mm diameter produced using different manufacturing processes. Extensive testing of the specimens was conducted, including high-cycle fatigue tests under various high loadings, fatigue crack growth (FCG) rate at a stress ratio of 0.85, fracture surface analysis, and statistical analysis of the probabilities and FCG mechanisms. A fatigue life model considering the initial cracks in a ribbed steel bar was proposed based on the Paris and Walker models. Fewer rolling cycles and higher tempering temperatures accelerated the growth rate of the initial cracks. Finally, the FCG life was calculated using the integral equation under diverse processes and loading conditions. The critical thresholds for the initial crack length demonstrated the ability to withstand 2 × 106 cycles under a stress amplitude of 88 MPa without fracture.
期刊介绍:
Case Studies in Construction Materials provides a forum for the rapid publication of short, structured Case Studies on construction materials. In addition, the journal also publishes related Short Communications, Full length research article and Comprehensive review papers (by invitation).
The journal will provide an essential compendium of case studies for practicing engineers, designers, researchers and other practitioners who are interested in all aspects construction materials. The journal will publish new and novel case studies, but will also provide a forum for the publication of high quality descriptions of classic construction material problems and solutions.
