The study focuses on critical design aspects, such as concrete shrinkage and cracking implications on the tension-stiffening phenomenon. An experimental program with two different sized flexural reinforced UHPFRC beams was run. Beams were cast and tested in a four-point bending test (4PBT) using UHPFRC with different amounts of fibers: 130 and 160 kg/m(3) (1.66% and 2.00% in vol.) to cover a wide range of strain-softening and strain-hardening constitutive UHPFRC behaviors. A nonlinear finite element model (NLFEM) was developed to validate the mechanical tensile characterization of UHPFRC when applied to reinforced elements. Both shrinkage and tension-stiffening effects were considered to improve the model. After the NLFEM simulation, very reliable results were obtained at both the service and ultimate load levels compared to the experimental ones. Finally, some aspects about the design of reinforced UHPFRC cross-sections under bending forces are addressed and satisfactorily compared to the experimental results.This work forms part of Project "BIA2016-78460-C3-1-R" supported by the State Research Agency of Spain and the project "Rethinking coastal defence and Green-energy Service infrastructures through enHancEd-durAbiLity high-performance cement-based materials-ReSHEALience", funded by the European Union Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under GA No 760824.ElsevierDepartamento de Ingeniería de la Construcción y de Proyectos de Ingeniería CivilEscuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería de Caminos, Canales y PuertosInstituto Universitario de Investigación de Ciencia y Tecnología del HormigónAgencia Estatal de InvestigaciónCOMISION DE LAS COMUNIDADES EUROPEARepositorio Institucional de la Universitat Politècnica de València Riunet20212021-12-01journal articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501VoRhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://riunet.upv.es/handle/10251/181807reponame:RiuNet.
