Abstract

In recent years, Fiber Reinforced Concrete material has been developed and studied for application to structural members. A property of this material is PseudoStrain- Hardening behaviour caused by the distribution of multiple fine cracks under tensile stress. Fibres have been used to enhance tensile characteristics of concrete by suppressing crack growth and improving mechanical behaviour. In this study, the fiber reinforced prestressed beams are analysed. The prestressed beams with steel and glass fibre reinforcements are compared with the normal prestressed beams. The main scope of this project is to reduce the deflections and control the crack width of the prestressed beams by analysing the fibre reinforced prestresed beams in Concise Beam software.
