Funded Activity Summary

Rotation Capacity of Joints in SFRC Moment Resisting Beams and Frames. In January 2014 the draft Australian Standard for the design of concrete bridges was released; this is the first standard in Australia, and one of the first in the world, to include design procedures for steel fibre reinforced concrete (SFRC) in a comprehensive way. While rules have been introduced for flexure and shear, strict limitations are placed on application where large plastic rotations are expected. This study investigates the moment-rotation performance of SFRC beam-column connections containing economical fibre dosages. The study is expected to provide data on the post-ultimate behaviour and robustness of SFRC moment hinges and determine moment-rotation relations for adoption by engineers and Standards bodies.
