In this study, strength and deformation behavior in steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC)
and stirrup RC beams, under bending-shear load, is investigated by analytical and
experimental methods. In the experimental test, optical measurement method was used.
Analytically, a theoretical model for SFRC beams developed by the authors and FEM code
was used. The structural response throughout the loading is captured and presented. Strength
comparison among SFRC, stirrup and control beam showed that SFRC beam has a better
performance. A parametric study on fiber content and shear span to depth ratio variation
characterized the strength enhancement in the fibrous beams. Analytical results obtained
using the theoretical model and FEM were in accord with the experimental results. |
