This work represents a contribution for the understanding of the concrete behaviour under repetitive and fatigue loading of plain and fibre reinforced concrete. An experimental program to get insight and to compare the behaviour of these two distinct materials under fatigue loading and, to collect controlled data for the calibration of a numerical model is presented. Compressive fatigue tests on cylinders and flexural fatigue tests on prisms, both on plain and fibre reinforced concrete, were performed. A numerical code was developed to analyse concrete under monotonic, cyclic and fatigue...
