Abstract
Addition of discrete steel fibers to concrete enhances its properties, especially in the areas of serviceability and toughness. In this paper, two semi-empirical methods developed from ACI 318-05 and TCXDVN 356:2005 are proposed to calculate the flexural strength of structures reinforced with both conventional steel bars and steel fibers for analysis and design purposes. The analytical and experimental results are discussed.
