Cyclic axial behavior of ultra-high performance concrete slender members

Abstract

Ultra-high performance concrete has ultra-high axial compression and axial tensile strength and has good crack control capabilities and is suitable for use in earthquake-resistant structures This study investigates the behavior of ultra-high performance concrete slender members under cyclic axial loads A total of four members were designed and tested and the experimental parameters included concrete type and stirrup spacing In the test the two ends are hinged and the axial static cyclic loading is carried out to explore the axial behavior of the ultra-high performance concrete slender member Experimental results show that the use of ultra-high performance concrete instead of high-strength self-compacting concrete for slender components can effectively increase the ultimate compressive and tensile strength of the components and improve the brittle failure behavior of concrete
