Split‐disk testing of precast ultra‐high performance fiber‐reinforced concrete tubes

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Ultra‐high performance fiber‐reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) has great potential for structural applications involving precast cylindrical shapes, including pipes, silos and stay‐in‐place forms for concrete columns. This study examines the performance of UHPFRC rings under internal pressure simulated using the split‐disk loading method, along ...
