Abstract:The present work describes an integrated approach that leads to the development of a new model capable of describing the tensile behavior (mode I) of fiber reinforced concrete (FRC), considering the orientation of the fibers, the fibers segregation along the cross-section of the FRC members and the pullout constitutive model of each fiber bridging the two faces of a crack. The possibility of the numerical model to capture the flexural behavior of nonmetallic fiber reinforced concrete members is explored by sim… Show more
