Flexural behavior of lightweight concrete beams encompassing various dosages of macro synthetic fibers and steel ratios

In this study, thirty-two lightweight concrete (LWC) beams were casted and tested as simply supported beams under four points’ loading. The investigated parameters were the volume fraction (Vf) of discontinuous structural synthetic fiber (DSSF) and longitudinal steel reinforcement ratio (ρ). The mod...
