Flexural Capacity Prediction of Composite RC Members Strengthened with UHPC Based on Existing Design Models
—
by
Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC), a new generation of cementitious materials with very high strength, ductility, and durability, has been used for enhancing reinforced concrete (RC) structures as a strengthening material. The structural performance of RC members strengthened by UHPC or UHPC-concrete composite members is significantly improved. However, there are few methods for predicting the capacity of…

Finite Element Modelling to Predict the Flexural Behaviour of Ultra-high Performance Concrete Members
—
by
This paper presents a finite element (FE) modelling to predict the behaviour of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) members under static flexural loading. A plasticity-based constitutive model for concrete and an implicit solver in LS-DYNA were adopted in the numerical simulation. Experimental data for 21 UHPC specimens tested in the present study and in previous works…
