Scaled Approach to Designing the Minimum Hybrid Reinforcement of Concrete Beams

To study the brittle/ductile behavior of concrete beams reinforced with low amounts of rebar and fibers, a new multi-scale model is presented. It is used to predict the flexural response of an ideal Hybrid Reinforced Concrete (HRC) beam in bending, and it is validated with the results of a specific...
