ABSTRACT: Twelve UHPC beams with different combinations of steel fibers, longitudinal and transverse
reinforcement were investigated experimentally under pure torsion. The UHPC beams with steel fibers only
showed a ductile behavior. The addition of longitudinal or transverse reinforcement alone to the steel-fiber
UHPC beams added much to the ductility and very little to the ultimate strength. Only the case of longitudinal ...
