Abstract:

Steel fiber-reinforced ferroconcrete (FC) is a new type of high-strength composite material. In order to reveal the flexural behaviors of FC bending members, twelve T-shape beams reinforced by FC were used to test the flexural behaviors, and the beam crack and its development as well as the bending capacity were analyzed. Then, according to the experimental data, a formula was proposed to calculate the bending capacity of the T-shape beams. Moreover, the parameters affecting the flexural behaviors of FC bending members were analyzed. Tested results show that the combination of steel fiber and steel wire mesh greatly improves the bending performance and crack resistance of reinforced concrete beams.

Key words: steel fiber, steel wire mesh, concrete, bending behavior, T-shape beam
