Shear behavior of composite beams using UHPC precast shell as permanent formwork

Key Points

• Shear behavior demonstrates enhanced performance with UHPC precast shell configurations, indicating better load distribution.
• Key evidence shows that UHPC composite beams can withstand significantly greater shear forces compared to standard beams.
• Analysis of beam configurations reveals that using a UHPC precast shell results in an increase in structural integrity.
• This finding highlights the potential for more durable construction methods, although validations in real-world settings are needed.
