摘要: Abstract Waffle slabs made of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) are now being widely used in bridge deck construction. However, to date, no research has been conducted to study their failure behavior. Two one-way waffle slab strips made of UHPC were load-tested under four-point bending to investigate their strength, ductility, and failure patterns. An identical set made of high strength concrete (HSC) was also tested to provide a comparison to specimens made with traditional construction materials. The UHPC specimens exhibited multiple fine cracks prior to rebar yielding and failed by steel rebar rupture after a single crack localized. In contrast, the HSC slab strips exhibited several large cracks and substantially larger ductility than the UHPC slab strips, although their strength was about 40% less than the corresponding UHPC specimens. The experimental results were used to validate a three-dimensional finite element model, which was then employed to investigate the two-way response of UHPC waffle slabs. The simulation study revealed that the yield line design method is applicable to UHPC waffle slabs despite their markedly different behavior compared to concrete slabs. Like the HSC slabs, the UHPC slabs also exhibited displacements and load carrying capacities well in excess of those predicted by flexural theories, due to formation of membrane action.
