Fiber‐Reinforced Concrete Deep Beams with Openings
Publication: Journal of Structural Engineering
Volume 111, Issue 8
Abstract
The experimental investigation of the first crack and ultimate load behavior of steel fiber‐reinforced concrete deep beams with openings is reported. The effect of fiber content, positions of openings, and different types of loadings on the behavior of such beams is studied. The experimental results are supplemented and compared with established analytical solutions. They are in good agreement and indicate substantial increase in strength with the increase of fiber content. The significance of the natural load path joining the edge of loading and supporting plates is exemplified through a drastic reduction in strength when it is intercepted by the opening.
