- The paper discusses shear failure mode of steel-fibre reinforced concrete beams through non-linear finite element analysis and experiments. The work examines potential of steel fibres to replace some of the conventional shear links without compromising ductility and strength requirements set out in design codes. Comparisons were made against British Standard design codes’ predictions, showing that fibres can replace steel bars, whilst providing economical savings. This is useful in practice in situations were high amounts of shear links are required leading to congestion and thus increased construction costs. Beneficiaries are designers, fibre manufactures, concrete suppliers, design codes committees and practicing engineers.
