Generally, fibers are commonly used in engineering material. The characteristics
and properties of fiber influence the properties concrete. This has been proven
by the previous research. In this research steel fiber is used to study the
behavior of reinforced concrete slab due to volume fraction of fiber subjected to
flexural test based on computer simulation.
The application of steel fiber reinforced concrete in civil construction is the most
popular due to its improvement in resistance to cracking, fatigue, abrasion,
impact, durability, and conventional reinforced concrete. In this investigation,finite element simulation will be used to analyze the normal reinforced concrete
slab and steel fiber reinforced concrete slab due to diffrent percentage of volume
fraction with 1%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5% and 3%. Through this simulation, the loading is
applied and analyzed by the increments of every 2 KN up to ultimate failure. The
results are obtained from the computer programming simulation and being
compared with published experimental results. The result of the analysis
indicates that, by using and adding steel fiber into the conventional reinforced
concrete, it will influence the ductility, toughness, energy absorption and strength
of the concrete
