An embedded crack model for the simulation of the complex interactions in fibre reinforced concrete

There are several benefits of introducing steel fibres in reinforced concrete. They can improve the structural ductility, reduce the permeability, and provide more resistance to cracking caused by loading and shrinkage. Steel fibres are mainly activated when they are crossed by active cracks in what...
