Effect of steel fibres at two different stages: The material and the structure

Abstract

The addition of steel fibres to plain concrete is intended both to improve the material's ductility and that of the structure in which it is used. These two effects of steel fibres are clearly distinguishable through an analysis of cracking both at a local and a global level. This analysis is essential if the use of steel fibres is to be optimized.
