ABSTRACT
The paper describes the results of an investigation conducted at the Asian Institute of Technology to determine the influence of high fiber volumes on the ultimate flexural strength of reinforced concrete beams. Tests were carried out on twenty-four isolated simply supported beams having conventional steel reinforcement with steel fiber concrete. The fiber volume was taken as high as 4%. This amount is twice as high as previously reported by other research workers.
A method for predicting the behaviour in flexure of reinforced concrete beams with high volume of fiber reinforcement is also presented.
