مستخلص: Ultra-high-performance fibre-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) specimens with and without longitudinal reinforcement were experimentally tested under direct tensile loading. The variables considered were the volume fraction of fibres (1.0% and 2.0%), the type of steel fibres (straight and hooked end) and the longitudinal steel reinforcement ratio (none and 1.2%). All of the specimens were tested using a servo-controlled fatigue testing machine in displacement control mode. The changes in displacement were monitored using linear variable displacement transducers and the digital image correlation technique. The strain profiles at different loading stages were used to identify the crack evolution process. The average localised strain was found to be 0.2–0.36%, with corresponding crack widths of 0.3–0.6 mm. A uniaxial tensile stress–strain model was developed based on the test results and data from the literature. Longitudinally steel-reinforced specimens showed both stiffening and strengthening effects. Tension-stiffened specimens with 1.0% fibres failed at a higher strain due to the formation of multiple macrocracks. In the specimens with 2.0% fibres, the rebar fractured in a brittle manner due to crack localisation. It is concluded that a higher longitudinal reinforcement ratio is needed to utilise UHPFRC effectively under tension-dominant loads. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
