Fibre reinforced concrete structures: shear capacity of beams and slabs

Abstract

This report contains studies of shear force and punching shear capacity of steel-fibre reinforced concrete.

Beam tests for shear and small beam tests for residual tensile strength reported in my project assignment [9] are further studied and compared with test results of others.

Loading tests of flat-slab reinforced with steel-fibre and post-tensioned reinforcement from Ålesund2010 – 2011 are briefly described, and punching shear results reported.

Comparison is made of test results and capacity calculated according to preliminary Norwegianguideline [12] and Model code 2010 first complete draft [10]
