Abstract

Experimental investigation of six RC cantilever beam made with High Performance Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Composite (HPFRCC) with two different fiber percentage and two different stirrup configuration (compact and non-compact) under monotonic loading is conducted in this paper. The results showed that the fiber role was more effective in specimens reinforced without compacted stirrups and energy absorption increasing, the rupture creation delay, and crack width and distribution decreasing have been observed. The ductility and load capacity of the HPFRCC specimens were 200 to 233 and 2 to 17.5% more than those of the Reference beams.
