In particular, the main objective is to evaluate how the addition and content of steel fibers affect this size effect. For this purpose, four types of concrete have been produced: plain and reinforced concrete with fiber contents of 0.3%, 0.6% and 1%. Two prismatic specimen sizes were considered: 75×75×300 mm, named S, and 150×150×600 mm, named L. All specimens were subjected to 3-point bending fatigue at the same relative stress levels up to failure. The results reveal very interesting conclusions. The fibers mitigate the size effect on fatigue life, going from a difference of three orders of magnitude in PC, to practically zero in SFRC. Furthermore, it is observed that fibers do not necessarily improve fatigue life; in fact, the trend changes depending on specimen size. Finally, it is shown that the secondary crack opening rate dCMOD/dn has a good correlation with fatigue life, explaining the dispersion of N in general and the size effect in particular.
