Abstract

The use of steel fibers as shear reinforcement in reinforced concrete beams helps in enhancing the first crack
tensile strength and ultimate tensile strength resulting in increase in shear strength and possible prevention of shear
failure.The ultimate tensile strength is increased because additional energy is needed to pull or strip. The Fiber out of
concrete, if the fibers were not broken off during initial cracking steel fibers have some advantages over vertical stirrups
or bent up flexural reinforcement in resisting the shear force. Conventional stirrups reinforcement requires a high labor
input for bending fixing in position. In thin web, placement of stirrups becomes completely impractical this is particularly
true of prestressed concrete beams.
