Figure 7 7. Number of load cycles o failure as a function of the initial strain for ImmoCem 35/3,0.
Finally in Figure 8 the number of load cycles to failure is plotted against the initial strain for the two
examined materials.
Figure 8. Number of load cycles to failure as a function of the initial strain for ImmoCem 35/0,3 and
ImmoCem 35/3,0.
On the basis of the very limited number of fatigue tests carried out no definite conclusions can be made but
there seems to be a relationship between initial strain and a number of load cycles to failure that a material
can handle. It is also apparent that this number of load cycles to failure is higher for ImmoCem 35/3.0 than it
is for ImmoCem 35/0.3 samples..
