Abstract
Finally, the effect of the fiber reinforcement on the flexural behavior was studied through structural tests on fiber reinforced self-consolidating concrete beams. Both hooked-end steel fiber and hybrid composites enhanced the resistance at yielding and promoted a lower rate of stiffness degradation, while the polypropylene fiber reinforcement presented an improvement in the ductile behavior of the structural composite. The present work gives an important contribution on the structural and cyclic behavior of steel, PP and hybrid fiber reinforced concrete. The paper makes a comparison on the mechanics of the different composite systems aiming its application in structural elements.
