Shear Capacity of Ultra-High Performance Concrete Rectangular Beams
, Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology ; Joghataie, Abdolreza (Supervisor)
Abstract
The application of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) as an alternative to conventional/ normal concrete (NC) has grown rapidly in recent years. However, there is limited knowledge on its shear behavior, which is essential for developing design guidelines for structural applications. A detailed parametric study was conducted on 38 beam specimens, half of which were made of UHPC and the other half made of NC. To ensure applicability of findings, two types of UHPC mixes were used, a proprietary and a generic mix. Eighteen of the beams were prepared and tested in Tabriz, Iran, while the other 20 were made and tested in Miami, FL. Test parameters included type of concrete (UHPC and NC),...
