Part 2: Design and construction
The new DAfStb Guideline on UHPC
The design and construction part of the DAfStb Guideline on UHPC replicates the structure of EN 1992-1-1. The verification methods are based on the design principles for reinforced and prestressed concrete and, where necessary, account for the special structural behavior and high durability of UHPC. Modifications and amendments were required concerning, for instance, the stress-strain relationship, creep and shrinkage, required concrete cover, and maximum crack width. Extensions were also made to consider the contribution of the fibers in the design equations. The efficiency of the fiber...
