Investigation of steel fibre pullout and modeling of bridging behaviour in SFRC

By adding fibres to concrete mix the objective is to bridge discrete cracks providing for some control to the fracture process and increase the fracture energy. Fibres become active mainly when cracking starts and deformation of the fibre occurs. Pullout tests with four types of fibres with differe...
