Area: Steel fibre (with coating) reinforced concrete
Concrete is a quasi-brittle material with low tensile strain capacity. However, the addition of ductile fibers to concrete, enhances the post-cracking properties by increasing ductility. Fibers transfer tensile forces
across cracks, reducing the crack width compared to unreinforced concrete and improving the post cracking performance. Possible improvement of structural performance on account of introducing fiber reinforcement into the conventional reinforced concrete members has not yet received any consensus. Among various research gaps, we focus on achieving high seismic performance. We aim to investigate the constitutive properties of high-performance fiber reinforced concrete (HPFRC) and its possible impact
on seismic performance.
