Abstract The flexural cracking behavior of ultrahigh performance concrete (UHPC) beams was experimentally studied in this paper. Eight UHPC were tested and analyzed regarding their crack pattern, spacing load‐crack width curves. test variables included reinforcement ratio, diameter cover thickness. results indicated that increased linearly with the increase applied load until yielding steel rebars. When beyond load, one or two cracks developed into localized cracks, followed by a rapid...
Abstract This paper experimentally investigated the flexural and ductile behaviors of ultra‐high‐performance concrete (UHPC) beams. The failure modes, deflection, ductility, strain, reinforcement strain were tested using eight UHPC rectangular experimental parameters ratio, diameter, cover thickness. results showed that all specimens exhibited characterized by yielding steel rebars, multiple micro‐cracks, one localized macro‐crack, slight crushing UHPC. It was concluded increasing ratio...
Abstract This research aims to experimentally investigate the flexural behavior of ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC)–steel composite beams with joints under a negative bending moment in order ...
Ultra-high-performance fiber reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) exhibits strain hardening and multiple cracking behaviors when subjected to tension load. There are limited studies on the effect of steel aspect ratios tensile performance UHPFRC. Also, testing cementitious materials composites is challenging due lack a standardized direct method with wide variation. This study experimentally investigated hooked end straight behavior UHPFRC 2% volume fraction. A test setup was first developed obtain...
