Computational analysis of punching shear models of steel fiber reinforced concrete slabs

Abstract EN

A computational analysis is presented to predict the ultimate and cracking shear strength of steel fiber reinforced concrete slabs.

Different models are suggested considering the effect of concrete compressive and tensile strength, amount of flexural reinforcements, yield strength of the reinforcement bars and steel fiber properties (volume percent, aspect ratio, and type of steel fibers).

The predicted results are compared with the experimental data found in literature and found good agreement.
