Structural Response of Joints Made with Generic UHPC

Publication: Structures Congress 2015

Abstract

This paper reports on ongoing research involving the use of non-proprietary Ultra High Performance Concrete (UHPC) in closure pours (joints) between precast bridge deck elements. With the objective of exploring the lower limits of joint size, four specimens were designed based on existing information about the bond strength of steel rebars in UHPC and then tested to failure. The applied loading was such that the UHPC joints were subjected to either pure flexure or combined flexure and shear. Test results showed that all specimens suffered bond-related failures prior to steel yield. The reasons for the observed failures are discussed and related ongoing research is outlined.
