About the Cover

In the present work an integrated experimental and computational method is used to explore the structural performance of ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) beams with square and rectangular transverse web apertures reinforced with externally bonded steel plates. Five UHPC beam specimens were examined under four-point bending, consisting of a control beam, beam with a square opening, a beam with a rectangle opening, and their corresponding reinforced specimens. A three-dimensional nonlinear finite element model was created in Abaqus to mimic the nonlinear behavior, crack growth and interaction between the UHPC and the external strengthening system. The experimental results showed that the internal force transfer mechanism was severely disturbed by the openings, and the stress concentration around the opening boundaries was localized, which caused the ultimate load capacities of the beams with square and rectangular openings to decrease by approximately 11.0% and 11.7%, respectively, compared with those of the control beam.
