Modeling of Deformational Behavior of Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete under Uniaxial Tension and Shear

Abstract

The deformational behavior of steel fiber reinforced concrete is important because it affects the crack width which influences the durability of the structure. In this study the deformational behavior of steel fiber reinforced concrete subjected to uniaxial tension and shear was investigated experimentally. In the experiment the effects of the volumetric fiber content, the fiber geometry and the fiber embedment length were investigated. Highstrentgh concrete was used in the specimen. From the experimental results models for the deformational behavior of steel fiber reinforced concrete under uniaxial tension and shear were obtained.
