Aggregate Interlock and Dowel Action under Monotonic and Cyclic Loading
Offshore platforms, used for the exploitation of the oil and gas reservoirs in the Arctic and the deep sea, are designed to withstand severe loading conditions, characterized by wave and wind attacks. Such structures are so configured as to transfer the applied cyclic loads to the subsoil by means of in-plane shear and normal stresses. From literature research it has become clear that there was a lack of experimental knowledge on the response of cracked concrete subjected to shear loading, especially for the case of a large number of cycles with a low shear stress relative to the static shear strength. Therefore, first an experimental study was carried out on push-off specimens. For reinforced concrete specimens, a repeated shear load was applied ranging from 46 to 90 percent of the static shear strength. The number of cycles ranged from 118 to 931731 cycles. The increase in crack displacements due to cycling was recorded and expressed in empirical relations. Second, the crack response under monotonic loading is discussed.
