Abstract:
High ductile fiber-reinforced concrete (HDC) is characterized by its excellent deformation ability. The utilization ratio of high-strength steel bars (HSS) can be effectively increased when HSS is applied in reinforced HDC members. Based on the analytical model for the flexural capacity of reinforced concrete members in code GB/T 50010—2010, the flexural capacities of the HSS reinforced concrete members and HSS reinforced HDC members were derived, respectively. Besides, some key parameters such as the relative depth of compression zone for balanced failure, maximum and minimum reinforcement ratios, the range of compression zone height and the limitation of the axial load ratio of the HSS reinforced HDC members were derived, respectively. The effect of strength grade of the steel bars, strength grade of concrete and HDC on each parameter aforementioned were investigated, respectively. A calculation method for the bearing capacity of the HSS reinforced HDC members was proposed, and the average error between the calculated results and the experimental results is less than 12.5%.
