Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) composite beams, formed by the UHPC precast beams and precast bridge slabs through cluster shear connectors, have a wide range of applications in prefabricated structures. Four-point bending tests were conducted on three prefabricated UHPC composite beams with different degrees of shear connection (0.47, 0.94 and 1.41 respectively) and one UHPC cast-in-place beam for clarifying the flexural performance of prefabricated UHPC composite beams. The results show that the shear connection degree has a significant impact on the flexural performance of prefabricated UHPC composite beams. For the composite beams with shear connection degrees of 0.47 and 0.94, diagonal cracks appeared on the web of the prefabricated beams below the edge pocket due to the large shear force caused by the shear keys, which finally led to the failure of the shear keys. The flexural capacities of the prefabricated UHPC composite beams with shear connection degrees of 0.47, 0.94 and 1.41 were 76%, 97% and 100% of that of the cast-in-place beam, respectively. The ductility coefficients for these beams were 28%, 38% and 37% of that of the cast-in-place beam. Additionally, their elastic stiffness before cracking was 52%, 72% and 85% of that of the cast-in-place beam, respectively. A calculation method for the flexural capacity of prefabricated UHPC composite beams with different shear connection degrees was provided, and its applicability was verified through experimental results.
从图10和图11的裂缝发展和分布情形可见:整浇梁SP-0纯弯段内裂缝分布均匀,除6条宽度较大的主要裂缝外,还存在分布密集的次要裂缝,裂缝平均间距为28 mm. 而组合梁仅在跨中截面附近出现数量较少的主要裂缝. 纯弯段内,SP-7出现3条主要裂缝,裂缝平均间距为35 mm;SP-5出现2条主要裂缝,裂缝平均间距为45 mm;SP-3仅出现1条主要裂缝,裂缝平均间距为50 mm. 相同荷载水平下,组合梁的裂缝宽度大于整浇梁且随剪力连接度的降低,主要裂缝数量减少,裂缝宽度增大. 这源于设置集簇式剪力键的组合梁,预制梁、板间存在无黏结界面以及跨中槽口位置附近存在的刚度突变,导致裂缝间距加大、主要裂缝分布少且集中,裂缝宽度也相应增大.
