EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION ON SFRC PLATES AND SHALLOW BEAMS

The paper presents an overview of a comprehensive experimental campaign on the behaviour of FRC structural members. In particular, full scale shallow beams and full-scale slabs reinforced with steel fibres only or with traditional longitudinal reinforcement have been tested in two different laboratories (Politecnico di Milano and University of Brescia). Two different fibre contents and fibre types have been investigated. The experimental investigation was instrumental for the discussion of the recent design rules that are going to be included in the next Annex L of Eurocode 2.
