Numerical investigation of shear behavior of steel fiber reinforced concrete beams without stirrups subjected to an asymmetric point load

In the present study, from recent experimental results of asymmetrical loading tests on SFRC beams without stirrups, three NLFE models have been validated and further developed to evaluate the impact that the ratio of shear span-to-depth (a/d) and the compressive strength of steel fiber concrete (SFC) have on the shear behavior and shear strength of SFRC beams without stirrups.
