Prestressing in SFR-RPC: Shear Strength of Fibre-reinforced Reactive Powder Concrete I-shaped Beam Without Stirrups
Author(s) Ling-Zhi Jin Xuan Chen Feng Fu Xiao-Fang Deng Kai Qian Abstract Due to the high compressive strength of steel fibre-reinforced reactive powder concrete (SFR-RPC), a higher degree of prestressing is available for SFR-RPC beams. Hence, a more slender...
Numerical Simulation of the Distribution and Orientation of Steel Fibres in SCC
Author(s) Chun Bao J.H. Bi D. Xu J. Guan W. X. Cheng Abstract Due to the combined advantages of steel fibre-reinforced (SFR) concrete and self-compacting concrete (SCC), SFRSCC is considered to present good prospects for engineering applications. As SFRSCC has...
