Comparison of experimental and theoretical data for steel fiber reinforced concrete slabs on ground under a point load according to design codes of the Republic of Belarus and the Russian Federation

Abstract

Fiber reinforced concrete is a perspective construction material. But there is still a lack of calculation methods for that material. Some calculation methods for steel fiber reinforced concrete structures are offered in the Republic of Belarus and the Russian Federation design codes. The comparison has been made for experimental and theoretical data concerning steel fiber reinforced concrete slabs on ground under a point load. Mean value correction factors and coefficients of variation of the error terms have been determined. Determination of those values is a first step to further reliability index determination.
