Experimental analysis of load capacity in beams with steel fiber reinforcement on the compression face

Abstract The use of steel fibers in the concrete is mainly aimed at increasing the post-peak toughness, due to the adhesion of the fibers to the cementitious matrix. However, there are several typologies of steel fibers, and the main differences are in the form (relation between length and diameter)...
