Experimental Study of Cast in Anchors Embedded in UHPFRC

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper describes an experimental investigation of the behaviour of anchors precast in Ultra High-Performance Fiber-Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) under static loading. Initially, the current state of the art and related experimental studies are briefly mentioned. The next part of the paper is devoted to an experimental program aimed at describing the anchorage in cement composite UHPFRC in more detail. A total of 45 pull-out tests were performed. The tests investigated the effect of the fiber quantity in volume in the UHPFRC matrix (vf), the effective embedment depth of the anchor (hef) and the position of the anchor in the mould during concreting. Finally, the results are documented, the failure mode and the shape of the concrete cone, load-displacement curves and summary tables are presented. The paper concludes with a discussion of the results and further directions for solving the problem.
