About this ebook
This chapter aims to understand and analyze the failure mechanism of Steel Fiber-Reinforced Concrete (SFRC). Fiberreinforced Concrete (FRC) [ACI 116, 2000], Plain concrete fails in a brittle manner at the occurrence of cracking. Ductile fibers in FRC continue to carry stresses well beyond cracking, thus maintaining the structural integrity. The types of fibers using in FRC are Metallic (high-modulus) fibers and Nonmetallic (low-modulus). The metallic fibers to improve the flexural toughness and ductility of concrete for example: Steel, Carbon, and Glass. The Non-metallic (low-modulus) fibers enhance the fresh concrete properties and reduces the plastic-shrinkage cracking. Polypropylene, Cellulose, Nylon, Polyester. The steel fiber adding in to the concrete is called as steel Fiber Reinforced (SFRC) concrete. The SFRC is widely used in structure where fibre reinforcement is not essential for integrity and safety. For example: slabs on grade, rock slope stabilization and repair. The SFRC as substitutes of the shear reinforcement in structures/members and these concepts to cover in many building codes
