Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this research is to test a series of UHPC specimens to investigate the shear failure responses in beams. Additionally, this research will also investigate the tensile properties of UHPC to assist in determining the relevant shear properties. Two series of specimens were created for testing: small-scale beam specimens for load-displacement behavior analysis under four-point bending and UHPC prisms for determining the effects of tension stiffening. Both sets of specimens were created using ASTM Grade 60 steel and high strength steel for the primary reinforcement. Finally, numerical analyses using finite element analysis software, based on both continuum and macroelement models, of the UHPC specimens were carried out based on the modified compression field theory (MCFT) to verify and expand upon the experimental results.
