Abstract:This paper presents the results of twelve shear tests carried out on simply supported rectangular beams, with a shear span to depth ratio (a/d) of 2.4, under a single concentrated load. Six of the beams contained conventional stirrups and six beams were reinforced with steel fibers as web reinforcement. The parameters were: the effect of fiber volume content (0, 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5%), fiber type (end-hooked or corrugated), and the presence of minimum stirrups. The beam span, beam dimensions, shear span to depth … Show more
