under static loads, tension area is not considered , but under cyclic loads there isn't pure tension are.
how is the concrete behavior under cyclic loads?
Thank you for your guidance Mr Ahmed
I think stiffness degradation due to reloading or cracks, considered by a decrease in the reloading slope, so how is it in tension? And in meander's model how is it considered?

good luck
Dear Mehrdad :
I am also conducting the research on fatigue behavior of concrete subjected to cyclic loading.
Here are two articles about our research on mechanical behavior of concrete subjected to cyclic loading. I hope it will be useful.
"Characteristics of dissipated energy of concrete subjected to cyclic loading"
"Hysteresis energy-based failure indicators for concrete and brittle rocks under the condition of fatigue loading"
