Abstract:This study investigates the behavior of the shear strength of fibrous concrete I-beams made from normal and lightweight concrete that have the same compression strength, of about 30 MPa. Lightweight aggregate concrete was made by replacing 75% of the coarse aggregate with lightweight aggregate (Bonza stone). Fourteen concrete I-beams with dimensions of 1000×210×175 mm were divided into two groups. In the first group, the web area was reinforced with steel fiber added in 0.5%, 1%, and 1.5% of the mix volume. Th… Show more
