  • Abstract:
  • Concrete is a widely used building material because of its special properties, such as high compressive strength and durability. The use of cement in the construction field has increased as urbanization has expanded. Many studies are currently underway in the era of urbanization to use western concrete material in construction to minimize construction costs. At present it is known that the ductility of concrete can be improved by confining the concrete with steel binders and such concrete being called as confined concrete. The spacing limitations of stirrups, limit the confinement offered by stirrups. To overcome this, the confinement with fibers and wire mesh has been suggested as one of the alternative. The investigation on fibers confined reinforced concrete beams revealed that the additional confinement due to combination of wire mesh and fiber reinforcement arrest the cracking, ultimate load as well as ductility of the composite. The stiffness of the beam increases due to confinement with wire mesh, glass fibers and steel fibers
