The shear behavior of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) beams has been assessed in a large number of previous studies. However, the shear strength of corroded SFRC beams without shear reinforcement is still an unresolved topic. In this paper, the finite element models of non-corroded and corroded SFRC beams have been constructed and verified regarding load-displacement curves, crack patterns, and failure modes. Finally, a parametric study also was performed to assess the effect of essential design parameters on the shear strength of SFRC beams under corrosion attacks. The results show that the reinforcement corrosion degree and concrete compressive strength are the most influencing parameters on the shear strength of SFRC beams, followed by the shear span-to-depth ratio and the steel-reinforced ratio.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
