Multi-scale Approach for Fatigue Loading of Cracked Steel Fibre Reinforced Concrete under Tension KU Leuven
The limited tensile resistance of concrete stimulated the development of steel fibre reinforced concrete (SFRC), consisting of a concrete matrix with randomly distributed steel fibres and characterised by an improved post-cracking behaviour. Despite the various non-structural SFRC applications, its use is still restricted with respect to its potentials, which is mainly caused by the lack of international design codes. Moreover, structural ...
