Abstract
In this study, a flexural test and residual stress evaluation using the aspect ratio (65 and 80) and steel fiber content (20, 30, and 40 kg/m3) as variables were conducted according to the EN 14651 standard to investigate the flexural toughness of concrete reinforced with high-performance arched steel fibers. The result of the flexural test show that the residual stress was 114.5% higher in the test specimen with high curvature and high content of arched steel fibers than that in the other conditions. In addition, the energy absorption capacity of arched steel fiber-reinforced concrete increased by 138.88% compared to concrete.
