...-point bending tests were conducted to compare the flexural performance of the proposed beam against a conventional composite beam. Key parameters, including failure modes, load capacity, stiffness and the performance of ultra-high-performance concrete ( UHPC ) wet joints with an anchorage length of 10...

Observed failure modes included flange buckling, web tearing and flange tearing near the welds of both end plates. The average overstrength...

Six specimens were tested – two bare frames (BF1 and BF2), two conventional...

... resistance. Taking advantage of these two materials, ECCs reinforced with HSSSWR (HSSSWR-ECCs) promise to be attractive when used in flexible and ductile link slabs in bridge deck systems, in permanent formworks of concrete members and for strengthening existing members. In this work, bending tests were...
