The concept of damage is all-pervasive in structural engineering. It can be considered a state variable and defined to vary from 0(no damage) to 1(failure). Thus, the factor of safety against failure, the most important aspect of a structure, cannot be assessed without evaluating the damageability of a structure under load. It is the objective of the research reported herein to study the behavior of concrete under repeated load applications. Concrete is known to deteriorate under such loading, i.e., it suffers damage of increasing degree. Its response to future loading is a function of the amount of damage sustained during previous load exposures. The same can be said about reinforced concrete members and entire structures, but here we wish to consider only plain concrete and express some of its material properties as functions of the degree of sustained damage. The work described herein is based on the stipulation that the energy dissipation capacity of plain concrete is a material property and the damage accumulates in direct proportion to the degree to which the energy dissipation capacity is being exhausted, in some analogy to both high- and low-cycle failure behavior of materials.
