- Abstract
The objective of this study described in this paper is to grasp the ultimate moment capacity of 50 m prestressed ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) composite box girder. The uniqueness of the prestressed UHPFRC composite box girder is no longitudinal reinforcement and no stirrups in two webs and lower flanges. In order to predict the flexural behavior of large-scale UHPFRC composite box girders, the current knowledge of UHPFRC properties and modelling tools is to be developed. The UHPFRC composite box girder consists of three segments UHPFRC U-shaped girder, UHPFRC deck plate, reinforced high-strength concrete (HSC) slab. The steel fiber 1.5% of volume fraction was added to ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) to induce ductile behavior in the girder. In total, 146 tendons are installed in the upper and lower flanges of U-shaped girder to cause flexural strength. A simple assumption of composite box girder was considered for a U-shaped girder, UHPFRC deck plate, HSC slab. Equivalent rectangular stress blocks are derived based on compressive and tensile constitutive laws of UHPFRC and HSC. The instantaneous prestress loss was calculated by the analytical method. The ultimate moment capacity of the composite box girder is evaluated with a modified analytical model, which has strain-softening behavior in tension. The result of ultimate moment capacity shows high flexural stiffness.
