Abstract:An experimental work was performed to address the cyclic performance of reinforced concrete flexural members containing steel, PVA, and Forta-Ferro fibers. Four full-scale reinforced concrete flexural members having the same geometry were subjected to a one-point bending test with slow cyclic loading. One of the four specimens was a control specimen with 0% fiber volume fraction (Vf), and the other three contained 1.5, 0.6, and 1.5% Vf of steel, Forta-Ferro, and PVA fibers, respectively. The ultimate resistanc… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
