Research on the Bending Load-Bearing Capacity of UHPC-NC Prefabricated Hollow Composite Slabs in Cross-Section

This study aims to investigate the bending load-bearing capacity of precast hollow composite slabs composed of ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) and Normal Concrete (NC). Through finite element numerical analysis and verification, this study analyzes various key factors influencing the performance of the composite slab, including the wall thickness of the square steel tube, the diameter of transverse reinforcing bars, the thickness of the precast bottom slab, and the strength grade of the concrete. The results indicate that the use of UHPC significantly enhances the bending performance of the composite slab. As the wall thickness of the square steel tube and the strength of UHPC increase, both the yield load and ultimate load capacity of the composite slab show considerable improvement. By conducting an in-depth analysis, this study identifies different stages of the composite slab during the loading process, including the cracking stage, yielding stage, and ultimate stage, thereby providing important foundations for optimizing structural design. Furthermore, a set of bending load-bearing capacity calculation formulas applicable to UHPC-NC precast hollow composite slabs is proposed, offering practical tools and theoretical support for engineering design and analysis. The innovation of this study lies not only in providing a profound understanding of the application of composite materials in architectural design but also in offering feasible solutions to the energy efficiency and safety challenges faced by the construction industry in the future. This research demonstrates the tremendous potential of ultra-high-performance concrete and its combinations in modern architecture, contributing to the sustainable development of construction technology.
