Abstract:
Steel fiber concrete is commonly used in construction of pile supported floors but there is an increasing demand for design standards regarding its application for elevated slabs. A study of an elevated concrete slab subjected to short-term and long-term point load testing is summarized. The slab was designed and constructed as a half scale model of a pile supported industrial floor slab. One-half of the test slab was reinforced with steel fibers only. The other half was reinforced with a combination of steel fibers and reinforcing bars.
