Experimental study on shear strength of steel fibre reinforced concrete Beam

Civil engineering

This paper presents the results of shear or flexure tests on steel fiber reinforced concrete beams. In addition to analyzing the influence of fibers on the structural performance in situations of different ratios of shear reinforcement . The test on mechanical properties of concrete i.e compressive , tensile, flexural and shear strength being carried out, even the study of effect of higher temperature on concrete is conducted for 7, 14 and 28 days of cured specimen for both the fiber reinforced and the conventional concrete. Coarse aggregate were chosen, having a particle size mainly between 12 mm and 20 mm. In order to prevent early age cracking , additional internal curing water will be provided by SAP. The main alterations results from the use of fibers were increased shear strength, stiffness and ductility other parameters used in analyzing performance were the properties of the hardened concrete (compressive strength, tensile strength, and flexural strength.
