INTERFACIAL SHEAR BEHAVIOR OF HSC WITH STEEL

FIBERS AND STEEL STUDS

Duration: 1 year (Masters- Thesis)

Scope: Modern construction has seen the use of steel fibers in concrete to enhance its load bearing properties. Considerable research on fiber-reinforced concrete have proved that addition of fibers to concrete makes it more homogenous, isotropic and increases its tensile strength and ductility significantly. These effects are more prominent with high strength concrete having inherent brittleness. A study about interfacial shear behavior of high strength fiber reinforced concrete (HSFRC) subjected to direct shear loading at a material level was characterized through experimental investigation with push off specimens and subsequent validation through finite element model analyses using ANSYS.
