One of the barriers to implementation steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) into structural applications is lack understanding shear behaviour SFRC members. This paper proposes a theoretical model for capacity members with mild reinforcement based on shear-carrying mechanisms and sectional analysis. The derived completely theoretically, concepts from literature, does not include new empirical ...

The Annex L of the new Eurocode – 2 gathers -for first time- provisions for design Steel Fibre Reinforced Concrete (SFRC) structures. This response to necessity construction sector and regulations this composite material within European space is supported by solid background derived from consistent research experiences carried out along last two decades. existence these could both favour compet...

An investigation into the mixed mode fracture of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC)beams with one percent volume fraction of steel fiber is presented. A series of notched beams withdifferent notch depths and locations are tested under three-point bending. The test results for apparentfracture toughness, crack trajectories, and fracture energy are presented. The crack paths for SFRCand plain...

The aim was to explore the survival of extensively damaged anterior teeth without ferrule restored with different fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) post-core foundations and crowns. Sixty extracted upper central incisors were decoronated randomly divided into four groups (n = 15). After endodontic treatment, specimens individualized as follows: control group (CTRL): multiple unidirectional FRC-p...

Reinforced concrete (RC) is a widely used construction material around the world. RC has many advantages in terms of structural stability. However, reinforcement requires extensive labour costs. Steel fibre reinforced (SFRC) been studied to replace steel bars structures over decades. most underground structures, such as tunnel lining, are usually designed using conventional for long-term stabil...

Short-fiber-reinforced composites (SFRC) are high-performance engineering materials for lightweight structural applications in the automotive and electronics industries. Typically, SFRC structures manufactured by injection molding, which induces heterogeneous microstructures, resulting nonlinear anisotropic behaviors challenging to predict conventional micromechanical analyses. In this work, we...
