To explore the governing mechanism underlying the tensile fatigue behavior of Ultra-high Performance Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Composites (UHPFRC), this study tested eight specimens using four advanced non-destructive measurement techniques. First, mag ...
This paper investigates the high cycle tensile fatigue behavior of steel rebar reinforced − UHPFRC elements, at a fatigue load ratio, i.e., R-ratio of 0.3, representative for structural applications. Prior to testing, magnetoscopy is conducted on each spec ...
This paper investigates the fracture mechanism of ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced cementitious composites (UHPFRC) using acoustic emission (AE), digital image correlation (DIC), and magnetoscopy testing. Four specimens undergo uniaxial tensile load ...
This paper quantitatively studies the influence of fiber orientation on the high cycle tensile fatigue resistance of ultra-high performance fiber reinforced cementitious composites (UHPFRC) within and beyond elastic domain. Eight tensile fatigue tests and ...
Ultra-high performance fiber reinforced cementitious composite (UHPFRC) is a modern class of cementitious building materials. Because of its superior mechanical properties and durability, it is increasingly used globally to rehabilitate, strengthen and mod ...
The elastic limit tensile stress of UHPFRC is governed by contributions of the cementitious matrix and the fibrous skeleton. This paper finds that fiber orientation has significant influence on the matrix tensile strength of UHPFRC, while this is not consi ...
This paper discusses the influence of fiber orientation on elastic limit tensile stress of ultra-high performance fiber reinforced cementitious composites (UHPFRC). An original model relating elastic limit tensile stress to fiber orientation is proposed, a ...
The Second Dongting Lake (SDTL) Bridge is the longest steel truss girder suspension bridge in China, which has a main span of 1480 m. To alleviate deterioration issues in the orthotropic steel deck (OSD), the steel-ultra high performance concrete (UHPC) li ...
The steel-ultrahigh performance concrete (UHPC) lightweight composite deck (LWCD) is increasingly adopted by in-service steel bridges to address the fatigue cracking issue for orthotropic steel decks (OSDs) and the premature damage issue for asphalt overla ...
