Abstract
This study deals with the load-deformation behavior of steel fiber reinforced concrete beams.
Theoretical development of moment-curvature and load-deformation relationships is presented in this paper. It is based on the assumption that the failure at a section occurs either when the force equilibrium equation is violated or when the concrete elements start to get crushed in the member. The complete stress-strain relationship of plain fibrous concrete in reference [2] was used in this study.
A special computer program is presented herein to carry out the theoretical studies of load-deformation behavior of simply supported beam under two-point loading. The validity of the theory developed in this paper has been verified by comparing with the experimental results of eleven beams which had been tested as shown in references [3], [4] and [5]. The results of comparison indicate a good correlation between each other.
