Abstract

Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) is a type of cementitious composite, and demonstrates very high compressive strength and good ductility. The favorable ductility and energy dissipation capacity of UHPC material make it possible to achieve excellent seismic performance in all kinds of structural members. The paper reviewed the recent progress on the seismic behavior of UHPC members, including flexural members (beams and plates), compressive members (columns and shear walls), joints (beam-column joints and plate-column joints), strengthening (strengthening for columns, shear walls and joints) and connections (bar lap splice and grout). A series of potential future researches on the seismic behavior of UHPC members were finally suggested for promotion of the application of UHPC in civil engineering.
