Influence of Chopped Basalt Fibers on the Shear Strength of RC Beams without Stirrups
Abstract:Abstract-This research studied the influence of chopped basalt fibers (BFs) on the shear strength of reinforced concrete (RC) beams without stirrups. The beams including one reference and three basalt fiber reinforced concrete (BFRC) beams were tested under concentrated load at mid-span to determine the shear strength. The test parameters are volume fraction of basalt fibers (V f ) and shear span-to-effective depth ratio (a/d) of beam. The deflection of the beam and the cracking pattern were monitored during t… Show more
