Abstract:
To study the flexural behavior of post-tensioned prestressed ultra-high performance steel fiber concrete (UHPSFC) beams, six post-tensioned UHPSFC beams with the variables being the passive reinforcement type, reinforcement ratio, tension control stress and prestressing degree were tested. The mechanical properties including cracking moment, ultimate moment, failure mode and cracks were studied by the three symmetrical point loading tests. The results show that HRB500 can work well with UHPSFC, where high strength can be fully used. The cracking moments increase with the increases of tension control stress and prestressing degree. The bending cracks are fine and closely spaced, and the maximum of crack width is less than 0.15 mm at serviceability limit state. The calculated cracking moment values agree well with the experimental values when the plastic coefficient is revised by introducing the anti-cracking coefficient. The ultimate bearing capacity formula is established based on the simplified stress-strain law of UHPSFC, and the results of the formula are compared with test data and show a good correlation, which can be used for flexural theoretical analysis and design for UHPSFC beams. ©, 2014, Science Press.
