Use of steel fibre-reinforced concrete in seismic design

In ductile concrete frames designed to withstand reversing seismic loads, the joint regions typically contain closely-spaced transverse confining hoops in both the beams and columns. Since placing these hoops is a labour-intensive task, numerous researchers have proposed removing some of the hoop...
