The paper reports the experimental results of tests performed on prismatic concrete specimens in compression. The specimens have been subjected to a large amount of fatigue cycles (high Cycle Faigue HCF). It is common opinion that in the case of plain concrete in compression, fatigue does not depend on the loading frequency. On the contrary, the performed tests show tha: a) the energy dissipation in the material depends on the loading frequency; b) the more fatigued is the material, the less its behaviour depends on the loading frequency.

Abstract
The paper reports the experimental results of tests performed on prismatic concrete specimens in compression. The specimens have been subjected to a large amount of fatigue cycles (high Cycle Faigue HCF). It is common opinion that in the case of plain concrete in compression, fatigue does not depend on the loading frequency. On the contrary, the performed tests show tha: a) the energy dissipation in the material depends on the loading frequency; b) the more fatigued is the material, the less its behaviour depends on the loading frequency.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
