Experimental Study on the Shear Behavior of Fiber Reinforced Self-Compacting Concrete Rectangular Beams

Article Preview

Abstract:

The main purpose of this paper is the analysis of the influence of steel fiber and hybrid fiber on the ultimate shear load and failure mode of rectangular concrete beams. The results of this experiment study indicate that fibers can enhance the ultimate shear load. Hybrid fibers can change the failure mode. The mechanical behavior of beam with hybrid fibers is better than that with mono-steel fibers.
