Shear Strength of Fibrous Concrete Beams Without Stirrups
Publication: Journal of Structural Engineering
Volume 112, Issue 9
Abstract
Test data are presented on the shear strength of a series of longitudinally reinforced fibrous concrete beams in which the shear span‐to‐effective depth ratio, volume fraction of fibers, percentage of reinforcement, and strength of the concrete were varied. Test results indicate that the fibers have significant influence on the mode of failure and ultimate shear strength of a longitudinally reinforced concrete beam. Conventional reinforced concrete analyses with some modification, as suggested in this paper, to account for the effect of fibers give good predictions of the ultimate strength and the mode of failure for rectangular beams with no shear reinforcement.
