| Abstract | Recently, t he r e h as been considerable interest in studying
the u se of SFRC (steel fiber reinforced concrete ) in structural
members such as beams. What is lacking , however , is the clear
understanding of the behaviour in shear of SFRC beams. A major
difficulty in solving t he problem of s h ear is the large amount of
parameters involved.
Experiments were carried out to determine the behaviour of
SFRC beams , with particular reference to failure in shear. The
parameters t h at were varied in the bea6 tests include the s hear
span to effective depth ratio (a/d) of the beam, longitudinal
reinforcement ratio ( p), and fiber content by volume (Vr) .
Several control specimens to study the material properties of
SFRC we re a l so test ed. Investigations of important parameters
which affect the shear strength of the be am are describe d . The
ultimate shear strength of a SFRC beam was found to depend
generally on the following parameters: shear span to depth ratio
(a/d), tensile post-cracking stress (Fct), longitudinal
reinforcement ratio |
