Theoretical Analysis of Reinforced Beams of UHTCC

摘要

UHTCC (Ultra High Toughness Cementitious Composite) is a new type of material which is widely used in this study. It is a kind of cement-based material with very good toughness. It is effective to improve the performance of damaged reinforced concrete and improve its durability. UHTCC is widely used in the reinforcement of concrete structures. There is no clear and effective method for calculating it. There is an approximate formula for the crack width of ordinary concrete. The concept of an average crack spacing is used in the derivation of the formula. The limit of UHTCC for cracks can be measured by the concept of average crack spacing. According to the obtained crack width limit, the reinforcement effect of UHTCC can be shown.
