Investigation of steel fibre reinforce concrete slab under bending / Mira Ezwany Tumingan

This research work presents the investigation and study on the application of steel fibre as reinforcement in concrete slab. The reinforced concrete samples were prepared previously in study made by Abdul Rahman (2008). The size of the SFRC slab is 1500x1000x75 mm (span-width-thickness). In this res...
