- 3D nonlinear numerical simulations were carried out to study structural behaviour of steel fibre reinforced concrete structures under static and seismic conditions. The paper provides a simplified model that can be used by other researchers and by designers specifying these innovative construction materials. It can also help reduce congestion of conventional steel bars. The use of fibres speeds up construction and thus leads to savings, which is significant for the construction industry. The work covers all types of structural element; for example, beams, columns, beam-column joints and improvements due to fibres were quantified, which is crucial for industry uptake.
