| Abstract: |
The ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) link slab has been proposed to provide a suitable solution to the cracking problem of conventional reinforced concrete (RC) link slab. This paper presents an experimental study on the tension mechanisms of UHPC link slab under monotonic tension loads. The experimental results of load-displacement curves, crack development and strains of UHPC link slab were investigated and compared with those of RC link slab. It can be found that in the elastic phase, the tension stiffness and ultimate loads of the UHPC link slab were respectively 2.6 and 2.4 times those of the RC link slab. Compared with the RC link slab, the number of cracks on the top surface of the UHPC link slab was larger, but the average crack width was significantly smaller. The concrete and reinforcement strains of UHPC link slab were smaller than those of RC link slab. |
