DESIGN FOR TORSION USING STEEL FIBER REINFORCED CONCRETE

Steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) has demonstrated valuable structural properties that should be formally acknowledged in building code design formulas. This paper revews existing English-language literature on torsional performance of SFRC, with and without conventional reinforcement, and proposes design formulas for torsion following the format currently adopted in ACI 318. As a result of existing laboratory experience and the conservativeness of the proposed modifications, the new formulas for torsion design of rectangular cross section beams should be acceptable to the professional community.
