Design method for steel fiber reinforced concrete proposed by Rilem TC 162-TDF

This paper describes two design methods, proposed by Rilem TC 162 “Test and Design Methods for Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete", i.e, the o-e-design method on the one hand ‘and the o-w-method on the other. In the former design method, the behavior of steel Fiber reinforced concrete in tension is characterized by means of a stress-strain relation, and this method is based on Eurocode 2. However, in the latter design method a stress-crack opening, the relationship is used to describe the post-cracking behavior of steel fiber reinforced concrete, and this method is based on the fictitious crack model according to Hillerborg,
