This book sheds light on the shear behavior of Fiber Reinforced
Concrete (FRC) elements, presenting a thorough analysis of the most
important studies in the field and highlighting their shortcomings
and issues that have been neglected to date. Instead of proposing a
new formula, which would add to an already long list, it instead
focuses on existing design codes. Based on a comparison of
experimental tests, it provides a thorough analysis of these codes,
describing both their reliability and weaknesses. Among other
issues, the book addresses the influence of flange size on shear,
and the possible inclusion of the flange factor in design formulas.
Moreover, it reports in detail on tests performed on beams made of
concrete of different compressive strengths, and on fiber
reinforcements to study the influence on shear, including size
effects. Lastly, the book presents a thorough analysis of FRC
hollow core slabs. In fact, although this is an area of great
interest in the current research landscape, it remains largely
unexplored due to the difficulties encountered in attempting to fit
transverse reinforcement in these elements.
