ABSTRACT

The steel UHPC (ultra-high-performance concrete) composite structure has become a widely used structural form in modern bridge engineering due to its excellent mechanical properties and durability. Through a detailed analysis of experimental research and numerical simulations, the main findings and shortcomings of existing studies on connectors in steel UHPC composite structures were summarized. The performance of current research under extreme environmental conditions, limitations in parameter selection, and challenges faced in practical engineering applications were pointed out. Finally, this article proposes future research directions, including the development of new connectors, improvement of overall structural performance, and refinement of design specifications, to promote the further application and development of steel UHPC bridge decks.
