Abstract
  • The use of short fibers inside concrete matrix is an effective method for reducing the vulnerability of concrete constructions subjected to harsh environment. The action of the short fibers in reducing the crack opening is the main issue that needs a research effort in order to optimize the expected results. At the moment the analytical prediction of the crack width and spacing in fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) structural elements under bending loads is still an open problem. A crack width relationship for FRC/RC elements similar to those developed for plain concrete structural members would be desirable for designers and engineers involved in the design of FRC structural elements. The recent development of important technical design codes, such as RILEM TC 162 TDF and the new Model Code (MC) 2010, embrace this idea. However further validation of these models by experimental results is still needed. On the other hand the study of the influence of a sustained load on crack width in presence of a short fibers reinforcement is a topic almost unexplored and important at the same time. In this research the cracking behaviour of full-scale concrete beams reinforced with both traditional steel bars and short fibers has been analyzed under short and long term bending condition. A theoretical prediction of crack width and crack spacing was carried out according to international design provisions based on different analytical models. The theoretical results are discussed and compared in order to highlight the differences between the available models and to check the reliability of the theoretical predictions on the basis of the experimental data. A modified relationship to take into account of the presence of stirrups has been proposed on the basis of experimental results; furthermore, some critical aspects, such as the influence of the type of fibers and the effect of loading-time, have been underlined that should be addressed in future research work.
