The authors propose a new defined tensile stress distribution for steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) to evaluate the flexural strength of SFRC beams. It is a simplified formula based on the SFRC tensile stress – tensile strain relationship curves. This study confirmed that the flexural strength of SFRC beams is influenced by the orientation factor of steel fibers which is in turn affected by the fiber amount. The authors also propose a formula for this orientation factor expressed by the fiber volume ratio. Using these proposed formulae, the flexural strength (allowable, yielding, ultimate levels) of SFRC beams could be accurately evaluated.
