Abstract

A concrete beam is a basic element for many applications in architectural engineering, and its vibration property plays an important role in safety and life-span. Previous vibration models were based on continuum beam theories, which could not take into account the porous property of the concrete beam. This paper adopts a two-scale fractal vibration model, and its low frequency property is revealed. This new finding can explain the vibration attenuation and vibration absorption of the porous concrete, and the present theory sheds a new light on the concrete design.
