Effect of Steel Fibers on the Hysteretic Performance of Concrete Beams with Steel Reinforcement—Tests and Analysis

The use of fibers as mass reinforcement to delay cracking and to improve the strength and the post-cracking performance of reinforced concrete (RC) beams has been well documented. However, issues of common engineering practice about the beneficial effect of steel fibers to the seismic resistance of...
