Stress-strain characteristic of SFRC using recycled fibres

This paper presents work from a comprehensive study on the development of a flexural design framework for concrete reinforced with steel fibres that are recovered from used tyres. The experimental flexural behaviour of notched concrete prisms reinforced with these fibres is initially presented. For comparison purposes, prisms reinforced with industrially produced fibres are also considered. An attempt to adopt an existing RILEM design framework to derive appropriate tensile stress-strain blocks is made, but problems are identified with key parameters of the framework. The influence of crack propagation and location of neutral axis depth on the tensile stress distribution is examined. Following an analytical study, it is concluded that the uniaxial stress-strain model, proposed by RILEM overestimates the load-carrying capacity and should be modified by utilising more advanced analytical techniques. © RILEM 2006

Shear behavior of prestressed precast beams made of self-compacting fiber reinforced concrete

Even after many years of in-depth research the shear behavior of concrete structures is still a subject for debate. Current Design Codes need to be adapted to new materials and production methods. This paper discusses some still unresolved doubts, based on an experimental program consisting of nine prestressed l-beams of different flange dimensions. Shear evaluation is analyzed in accordance with the Codes under different conditions: a combination of fibers with stirrups, the possible influence of flange width on shear strength and the interaction of fibers with other important parameters such as flange width and longitudinal reinforcement. The results obtained show that fibers act as additional reinforcement to stirrups and also that the Codes are within the safety limits as regards shear ultimate limit state (ULS).
