Abstract

High-performance concrete, boasting superior mechanical and physical attributes compared to traditional concrete, serves-as a pivotal construction material. This research delves into the effects of glass and carbon filaments on the bending-behaviour of reinforced concrete (RC) beams through an extensive experimental program. Fifteen RC bar specimens-are fabricated, categorized into steel fiber (S), glass fiber (E), carbon fiber (C), and a hybrid of S-glass with carbon fiber (S-G-C). The fibers constitute 1.5% of the concrete weight. A predictive model is formulated to ascertain the ultimate load capacity of low-profile UHPC-T beams, incorporating insights from this study and prior research.
