Owing to the strain-hardening characteristics of UHPFRC, all test beams exhibited very stiff load deflection behavior after the formation of cracks and satisfied the service crack width criteria of CAN/CSA S806.
Due to the strain-hardening characteristics of UHPFRC, all tested beams provided very stiff load versus deflection response even after the formation of cracks (Fig. 5), which is distinctive response with conventional FRP-reinforced concrete beams, and satisfied the service crack width criteria of the Canadian Standards Association (CAN/CSA) S806 (CAN 2002).
