Experimental and Numerical Studies on the Shear Strength of HFRC Beams without Stirrups

Abstract

AbstractThis study investigates the shear strength performance of reinforced concrete (RC) beams without stirrups cast using hybrid fiber-reinforced concrete (HFRC). Six mixtures were prepared by combining two types of fibers—steel, polypropylene (PP), ...Graphical summary of experimental and numerical evaluation of hybrid fiber-reinforced concrete beams without stirrups, showing fiber types, beam setup, key findings, and performance data. Results highlight improved shear capacity and ductility, with steel–...
