Numerical Analysis of Prestressed UHPC Lightened Member

Abstract:

UHPC (ultra-high-performance concrete) is one of the essential elements in the development and research of new modern concrete structures. It is a material showing all the positive qualities in terms of the design efficiency and construction process. In this paper, we analyze the behavior of prestressed UHPC I-beam with lightened web that is loaded by four-point bending test. Two variants of I-beam were used for the analysis. The first variant is beam with a continuous thin web and the second variant is beam with lightened web, which is analogous to castellated steel I-profiles, commonly used types of steel beams with larger span. Although these are relatively small specimens, light beam analysis can be extrapolated for large span structures, especially bridges. In case of structures of larger magnitude with precast members of UHPC, a certain amount of discontinuous action cannot be avoided, which is the case of using a lightened beam with openings across the entire height of the web. Application of prestressed tendons ensures sufficient resistance for bending action; members are designed so failure occurs by shear response.
