Effect of Steel Fibres on Flexural Toughness of Concrete and RC Beams

The study concerns the investigation of flexural behaviour of steel fibre reinforced concrete (SFRC) and conventional reinforce concrete (RC) beams incorporating steel fibre. Hooked-end steel fibres were used at the contents of 20 kg/m3, 40 kg/m3, 60 kg/m3, 80 kg/m3 and 100 kg/m3 in production of SFRC specimens and RC beams. Flexural tests were achieved on both SFRC and RC beams. Mechanical properties such as compressive strength, modulus of...
