BEHAVIOR OF STEEL FIBER REINFORCED CONCRETE BEAM USING FLY ASH

This paper focuses on investigating the flexural behaviour of Fly ash reinforced concrete beams with steel fibers 40% of cement was replaced with fly ash. Experimental investigation included testing of three reinforced fly ash concrete beams with steel fibers and three beams without steel fibers. Compressive strength of fly ash concrete with steel fibers were also found out. Data presented include load-deflection characteristics, cracking behavior, ductility and strain characteristics of reinforced fly ash concrete beams with steel fibers. There was 34.6% increase in load carrying capacity with the addition of fibers in the beam
