Effect of fiber amount and stirrup ratio on shear resistance of steel fiber reinforced concrete deep beams

This paper deals with the effect of steel fiber amounts and interaction between amount stirrup ratio on shear behavior capacity reinforced concrete (RC) deep beams fibers. The experimental program was carried out twelve different (0, 30, 40, 65 kg/m3) ratios (0.1, 0.15, 0.25%). test results have shown that use fibers increased resistance (up to 55%), reduced crack width 11 times) deflection 57%) tested beams. Also, it found using unsuitable would reduce efficiency in a beam due stirrups. Increasing high can efficacy enhancing beam. most cost-effective be around 30 45 kg/m3.
