For longer spans of reinforced concrete elements, design codes dictate the use of sufficient lap splice length. Insufficient lap splice length decreases the flexural strength and ductility of reinforced concrete (RC) beams, while fiber addition improves their load-carrying capacity, ductility, and durability. The main purpose of this study was to examine the effects of micro and macro fibers on the lap splice length of RC beams. In this regard, the effect of fiber addition on RC beams having insufficient lap splice length under bending test has been studied in detail. Mixtures were prepared wi ...Daha fazlası
