Influence of Reinforcement Ratio on Flexural Behavior of Prestressed UHPCC Beam

Article Preview

Abstract:

Using experimental study, major emphasis of the present study is to determine the influence of reinforcement ratio on structural behavior of the prestressed beams made of UHPCC in terms of first crack load, peak load, ductility, and load-deflection characteristics. A UHPCC mixing proportion was presented firstly. 8 rectangular beams of size 100x300x3000mm made of UHPCC were designed, fabricated and tested in this investigation. Influence of reinforcement ratio of load bearing capacity, deflection and crack pattern of beams were performed and analyzed. Based on experimental results, some conclusions were drawn.
