Abstract

Self Compacting Concrete (SCC) presents lower shear strength due to its smaller aggregate size and lesser content. In addition, a large amount of hazardous vehicular tire waste is produced each year requiring a great deal of economy and land for its management. This work summarizes the results of a detailed investigation of the shear behavior of steel fibers reinforced self-compacting concrete (SFRSCC) beams. Steel fibers extracted from waste tires have been used in varying amounts and aspect ratios to study their impact on compressive, split tensile, and ultimate shear strengths and their corresponding deflections. The results indicate that the shear strength of SFRSCC beams is improved remarkably, and through the decision matrix, the results become more obvious and so the material can be recommended as a green shear enhancement material for SCC.
