Abstract
Structural control under the serviceability limit state is a requirement of design codes to ensure the durability of structural elements. As it is possible to consider fibers to be reinforcement in concrete, UHPFRC can be used to guarantee properly distributing cracks and limiting crack width in the serviceability limit state. This research presents an experimental testing method for direct tensile tests on UHPFRC specimens. The results obtained from the proposed method, such as the specimen’s average tensile stress-strain curve, tensile stress in concrete, number and width of cracks, can be used to consider the behavior and design requirements of UHPFRC under serviceability conditions.
