Shear capacity of composite slab reinforced with steel fibre to that of fabric reinforcement in concrete topping

This paper presents the experimental result on the shear capacity of composite slab reinforced with steel fibre concrete topping. Experimental test is carried out on 75 composite slab specimens reinforced with various steel fibres volume fractions in the concrete topping. The type of steel fibres is...
