Abstract:
High-strength reinforcement is characterized with excellent strength and ductility, and when combined with ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC), it leverages the strengths of both materials. To study the dynamic response of high-strength reinforced UHPFRC(HSR-UHPFRC) beams under impact loading, this work integrates drop-weight impact testing with ABAQUS numerical simulations to examine the effects of longitudinal reinforcement ratio, stirrup ratio, impact mass, impact velocity and shear span-to-depth ratio. The research findings indicate that under impact loading, HSR-UHPFRC beams primarily experience flexural failure. When the reinforcement ratio increases from 1. 15% to 1. 53%, the energy absorption efficiency drops by about 10%. Use of stirrups can effectively reduce the deflection of the beam without altering its failure mode. Under the equivalent impact energy, the impact mass has a more pronounced effect on the damage of beam. Elastoplastic rotation damage assessments suggest that increasing the longitudinal reinforcement ratio and reducing the shear span-to-depth ratio can effectively mitigate the damage of beam under impact loading. When the longitudinal reinforcement ratio is less than 1. 15%, a design without stirrups can be adopted. When it exceeds 1. 5%, however, it is recommended that stirrups shall be provided to prevent brittle failure of beam under impact loading. © 2025 Chinese Society of Civil Engineering.
