Investigation of Flexural Behavior in Steel Fiber-Reinforced Concrete with Varied Fiber Content

This study examines the viability of employing steel fibers as an alternative or supplementary reinforcement to conventional rebars in concrete structures. Results reveal that steel fibers significantly enhance compressive strength and post-cracking behavior by providing additional reinforcement and mitigating crack propagation. The research underscores the efficacy of steel fibers as a cost-effective reinforcement strategy, with SFRC at ۴۵ kg/m³ identified as an optimal balance of strength and fiber content for enhanced structural integrity.
