Ultra-high toughness cementitious composite (UHTCC) has been noticed in the application of composite bridge deck (CBD) structures to avoid tensile cracks, benefiting from its excellent crack resistance behavior and characteristic of tensile strain hardening. In this study, a novel profiled steel-UHT...
