Abstract

The aim of the paper is to investigate the flexural behavior and property changes of concrete structures reinforced by steel fibers (SFRC) and to use the results for carrying capacity assessment of SFRC post-cracked slab on ground structure with subsoil interaction effect. Because the national codes cover neither design nor assessment of SFRC structures the investigation is generally based on the nonlinear fracture mechanics models to establish the stress-crack opening and load-crack mouth opening displacement relationship. Then the flexural tensile strength and residual flexural tensile strength of the post-cracked SFRC structure is determined with respect to subsoil interaction.
