Abstract

The design of slender constructions with reduced weight made of high-tech materials such as ultra-high performance fibre-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) leads to an increased susceptibility to oscillations. New models describing the fatigue behaviour of UHPFRC are required. Therefore, the material behaviour of all components and the composite itself, each subjected to cyclic tensile loading, is studied experimentally and numerically on the mesoscale. In this paper, first findings according to experimental single and multiple fibre pull-out tests and the corresponding numerical simulation with a first approach of a geometrically and physically non-linear bond model, are presented.
