Simplified Unified Model for Flexural Capacity of Ductile HPC Beams with A Low Reinforcement Ratio
Mehdi Dehestani
There is no specific model to predict the flexural capacity of ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) beams with a low reinforcement ratio. Accordingly, a comprehensive experimental database containing 162 datasets was gathered from literature to propose an explicit analytical model containing various critical features, including fiber volume fraction, fiber aspect ratio, fiber strength, water-to-binder () ratio of mixture, and reinforcement ratio. Additionally, a supplementary experimental stud
