Study of the shear strength equations of reinforced concrete beams with and without steel fibers and suggestion an equation to the case of lightweight concrete


Abstract in English

This paper presents the shear behavior of lightweight concrete beams without shear reinforcement produced by scoria aggregates. A total of nine beams were tested under four-point loads, including three lightweight concrete beams without steel fibers and six steel fiber reinforced lightweight concrete beams.
