Abstract
Experimental investigations of the effects of the water-cement ratio, aggregate type and loading sequence on the fatigue properties of concr ete are presented. The validity of Palmgren-Miner's hypothesis of line ar cumulative damage is examined for variable loading sequences. Also, the effect of the tension-compression strength ratio is discussed. An alysis of the results is based on the fatigue equation previously prop osed by the authors.
