Study On Shear Strength Of Concrete Mixed With Waste Tires Steel Wire

In this research, an experimental study has devoted to study the behavioral shear strengthrnmechanism of the plain concrete with waste tires steel wires in two methods; as a fiberrnby varying fiber volume amount (FB) and as a diagonally tied wire as stirrups (WB). Thernexperimental laboratory research tries to investigate the possibility of using steel fibersrnand tied wires in enhancing shear capacity in reinforced concrete beams. rnThe Result of experimental beams shows that waste tire wires tied like a diagonal stirruprndevelop the shear capacity of the concrete significantly. However, the other scenariornwhich is fibers mixed as an ingredient has negligible effects on shear strengthrnenhancement in plain concrete. This is due to the plain geometry of fibers, which isrnweak in pull out strength. But, slight improvement in ductility property has observed. rnHence, from the collected experimental result, it is concluded that these materials can bernused as a diagonally tied wire (WB) for enhancing the shear strength of concrete. Yet,rnfurther studies shall be made to improve the method and quantify the numericalrnformulation.
