Abstract

  The paper presents an experimental investigation of the direct shear transfer behavior of fiber reinforced high-strength concrete.

 The experimental study was performed on steel fiber reinforced push-off specimens with or without conventional stirrups.

For the specimens with plain steel fibers, significant increases in the shear strength of high-strength concrete were observed. In the tests involving the combination of steel fibers and conventional stirrups, major improvement in crack control and enhancement in shear strength were observed.
