An integrated approach for modelling the tensile behaviour of steel fibre reinforced self-compacting concrete
Abstract The present work resumes the experimental and numerical research carried out for the development of a numerical tool able of simulating the tensile behaviour of steel fibre reinforced self-compacting concrete (SFRSCC). SFRSCC is assumed as a two phase material, where the nonlinear material behaviour of SCC matrix is modelled by a 3D smeared crack model, and steel fibres are assumed as embedded short cables distributed within the SCC matrix according to a Monte Carlo method. The internal forces in the steel fibres are obtained from the stress–slip laws derived from the executed fibre pullout tests. The performance of this numerical strategy was appraised by simulating the tensile tests carried out. The numerical simulations showed a good agreement with the experimental results.
