Abstract

Fiber reinforced concrete was developed to improve the mechanical properties of cementitious materials. Especially by using FRC, the structural mechanical properties after the maximum load can be improved. In the present study the mechanical properties of the fiber reinforced concrete are evaluated by investigating the influence of various parameters on the complete load-deflection curve, including the descending branch.
