Behaviour of Reinforced Concrete Slabs with Steel Fibers

his paper investigates the potential effect of steel fiber added into reinforced concrete slabs. Four-point bending test is conducted on six slabs to investigate the structural behaviour of the slabs by considering two different parameters; (i) thickness of slab (ii) volume fraction of steel fiber....

The slab with Vf = 0% steel fiber and no reduction in thickness is taken as the control slab.
