A Simplified Analysis Model for Predicting the Crack Width and Deflection of Reinforced UHPC Shallow T-Shaped Beams Under Four-Point Bending by Zhe Zhang, Yichuan Wang, Binchen Yuan, Ping Zhu

“…To obtain closed-form solutions, the proposed simplified analysis model directly incorporates the bond properties from bond tests, thereby eliminating the reliance on constant bond stress simplification and the subsequent necessity for member calibration, which is commonly required in existing design codes for UHPC-based structures. To validate the proposed model, six reinforced UHPC shallow T-shaped specimens with dimensions of 3.7 m × 0.7 m × 0.22 m, varying reinforcement ratios and fiber types within UHPC, are utilized and tested statically under four-point bending conditions. …”

Study on the annealing and three-point bending fracture behavior of single W fiber-reinforced W composites with multiple interfaces prepared by CVD by Chuan Wu, Youping Lu, Juan Du, Pan Wen, Jun Tang, Tianyu Zhao, Jiming Chen, Pinghuai Wang, Xiang Liu

“…The fracture behavior of the Wf/W composite before and after the annealing process was investigated through three-point bending tests. The results indicate that the interfaces including yttrium (Y), yttrium oxide (Y2O3), and yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) all exhibit weak binding strength, leading to interface debonding during the three-point bending test and resulting in ductile fracture behavior for the composite. …”
