Steel Fibre Reinforced Concrete Beams

An experimental and theoretical investigation of the effect of steel fibre reinforcement (SFR) in concrete beams has been carried out. The test series consisted of 9 beams (b/h/l= 150/250/2850), and while 4 were designed for moment failure, the remaining 5 were planned for shear failure. In general, the test results agree well with the theoretical approaches. In the evaluation, the results have been supplemented by a new similar test series (2002) where self-compacting concrete was used, and an older beam test series (1988) were the shear capacity was investigated.
