SYNOPSIS
This is the summary of two papers entitled as "Behaviors of Stirrups under

Fatigue Loading" (Concrete Journal of JCI, Vol.19, No.5, 1981) and "Fatigue
Strength in Shear of Beam without Web Reinforcement —— Influence of Load Range
on Fatigue in Shear" (Concrete Journal of JCI, Vol.20, No.9, 1982).
An equation for the prediction of the fatigue strength in shear of beam without
shear reinforcement is proposed. This equation includes the influence of load
range.
Using this equation a procedure is derived to calculate the average strain of
shear reinforcement under general variable loading. This procedure is based on
a newly developed idea that the strains during the subsequent loading are
essentially the same in spite of the difference of the previous loading history,
if the stirrup strains produced by the same applied shear forces are same.
Tamon UEDA is a research associate of Civil Engineering at the University of

Tokyo. He received his Doctor of Engineering in 1982 from the University of
Tokyo. He was awarded for a part of this study in 1981 from the Japan Concrete
Institute.
Hajime OKAMURA is a professor of Civil Engineering at the University of Tokyo.

He was awarded JSCE Most Valuable Paper Prize in 1981 and JCI Valuable Paper
Prize in 1981 and in 1982. He obtained his doctor at the Universitay of Tokyo
in 1966 and has been a faculty member since then. He has written many
scientific articles on fatigue and shear of reinforced concrete members, and
authored a book ‘Limit State Design of Concrete Structures‘.
Prof. Okamura is a current chairman of JCI Committee on Shear and FEM Analysis,
and a member of working commission III of IABSE since 1982.

(Received September 29, 1982)
Fatigue tests of eleven T-beams with stirrups, four rectangular beams with bent-up
bars and inclined stirrups and sixteen rectangular beams without shear reinforcement
were carried out. Based on the test results, an equation for the prediction of the fatigue
strength in shear of beam without shear reinforcement is proposed. This equation
includes the influence of load range. Using this equation a procedure is derived to
calculate the average strain of shear reinforcement under general variable loading. This
procedure is based on a newly developed idea that the strains during the subsequent
loading are essentially the same in spite of the difference of the previous loading history,
if the stirrup strains produced by the same applied shear forces are same. The fatigue
strength of a beam can be evaluated from the stress range calculated by this procedure.
