A Study on Bond Properties between NSC Substrate and UHPC

Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) is suitable for the durable rehabilitation and strengthening of deteriorated normal strength concrete (NSC) structures due to its excellent characteristics, such as superior compressive strength, high tensile capacity, and excellent bond properties. However, a successful repair depends on whether the UHPC-NSC interface can provide good bonding performance under various applied loads…

Response of UHPC-Concrete Composite Structural Members Using Implicit and Explicit Finite Element Method

This paper investigates the response of UHPC-concrete composite structural members using implicit and explicit finite element (FE) methods. Both methods were prepared and conducted individually for the FE analysis under static loading condition. Results of the implicit and explicit analysis were compared to experimental results conducted in previous study. Both the implicit and explicit methods…
