TLDR
In this paper, steel fibers of various shapes (round, flat and crimped), size, and volume concentration replaced the vertical stirrups in conventional reinforced beams loaded in flexure.Abstract:
Steel fibers of various shapes (round, flat and crimped), size, and volume concentration replaced the vertical stirrups in conventional reinforced beams loaded in flexure. Shear failures were prevented by various types of fibers. The shear span ration, A/D, decreased with increasing steel fiber content. /Author/read more
