ABSTRACT: The conservation of existing structures including maintenance, assessment and, if necessary,
strengthening is a current challenge for engineers. For the evaluation of the load carrying capacity and the
remaining service life, detailed knowledge of the load bearing behavior especially due to proceeding fatigue
damage is required. In this paper, concrete deck slabs of hollo ...
