Failure mechanism and bearing capacity analysis of steel fiber steel reinforced concrete(SFSRC) beams

Abstract

In order to put forward the failure mechanism and calculation method of bearing capacity of Steel Fiber and Steel Reinforced Concrete (SFSRC) composite beams, the mechanical performance tests of 33 SFSRC specimens were carried out with steel fiber content, shear span ratio, stirrup ratio and longitudinal reinforcement configuration as variables, and the failure mechanism of specimens under three different failure modes of shear failure, bending failure and interface slip failure is revealed, the typical load deflection curves of three failure modes are summarized. According to the theory of crack strength enhancement of steel fiber, a formula for calculating the anti slip strength of the interface between steel and steel fiber concrete is proposed. By means of regression analysis, the distribution coefficients of steel fiber reinforced concrete, steel shape and reinforcement of composite beams are determined, and the calculation formula of shear strength of composite beams is proposed. Based on the interface failure mechanism of specimens, the bond influence coefficient is introduced, and the bearing capacity calculation formula of composite beam with normal section bending failure and interface slip failure are proposed. Through comparison and verification, the calculation results of the above formula are in good agreement with the test results.
