This paper presents a half-precast composite concrete slab using a strain-hardening cementitious composites (SHCC). The flexural characteristics of SHCC-RC Composite slab was evaluated with a conventional reinforced concrete slab and the composite slab was excellent in crack control to compare with the reinforced concrete slab.

In recent, high performance concrete structures can be developed using Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) which has mainly high compressive and tensile strength. Therefore, in reinforced concrete (RC) structures, it is possible to reduce structural elements and the cost of construction by reducing the amount of concrete and steel bars. This study compared and evaluated bending performances of RC and UHPC beams respectively and examined the design suitability of UHPC flexural members.

This paper presents a half precast strain-hardening cementitious composites (SHCC) and reinforced steel truss deck in order to develop SHCC and reinforced concrete composite slabs. The developed half precast decks were evaluated for loading of construction stages and presented excellent flexural performances during construction stages.

In the research, there were seismically strengthened reinforced concrete composite columns by applying Strain Hardening Cementitious Composites(SHCC). The seismic performance of SHCC-RC composite columns were studied by the concepts of seismic performance-based design approaches as well as with experiments.
