INFLUENCE OF STEEL/FIBRES ON THE BEHAVIOUR OF CONVENTIONALLY REINFORCED THIN-WALLED HOLLOW BEAMS
The aim of the investigation was to study the influence of adding a special type of steel fibres (thibo) to conventionally reinforced thin-walled beams. To compare the influence of the fibres two identical beams were also cast without fibres. Totally, five beams were cast and tested to destruction. The objective of the investigation was to study the influence of steel fibres in 1-d and 2-d alignment with respect to flexure and shear. It is found that the inclusion of fibres increases the shear but not the flexural strength of the beams. The stiffness and ductility of the beams are also increased, depending on the shear span ratio.(a)
