Planar Crack Approach to Evaluate the Flexural Strength of Fiber-Reinforced Concrete Sections

Recently and in collaboration with the UPM and UCLM, we have published an article in the Materials magazine entitled “Planar Crack Approach to Evaluate the Flexural Strength of Fiber-Reinforced Concrete Sections”. The article describes a model based on concepts of Fracture Mechanics to evaluate the flexural strength of fiber-reinforced concrete Sections. Also, We offer an expression to calculate the flexural strength from residuals strength according Model Code and EC-2. This formulation can be used by engineers for the structural design of fiber-reinforced concrete elements.  The article is open access and can be downloaded at the following link: Abstract: https://www.mdpi.com/1996-1944/15/17/5821
