TENSILE BEHAVIOR OF STEEL FIBER REINFORCED CONCRETE - EVALUATION OF A TEST METHOD

The purpose of incorporating steel fibers in concrete is the improvement in the concrete fracture behavior under tension. The paper presents results from a parametric study of the uniaxial tensile behavior of steel fiber reinforced concrete. The effects of the length/diameter ratio of the specimen and the notch depth are analyzed. Additionally, the results obtained with molded cylinders are compared with those of panels and cores that have been cut from larger elements.
