The performance of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC)-steel composite beams is dependent on the connection between the UHPC and steel. In this study, bending tests were conducted on UHPC-steel composite beams with different interfaces: UHPC directly cast on different plate textures, bonding using an epoxy-based adhesive, and traditional headed studs. The connection between the UHPC and the plates was extremely weak, but the adhesive performed well, failing after the steel beam yielded. Three-dimensional finite element models of the adhesively bonded beams were then established using ABAQUS and agreed well with the test results, successfully predicting the failure of the adhesive bonds.
