Experiments reveal how different steel fibres influence shear behaviour in deep beams, suggesting important structural insights.

Steel fibres improve ultimate load performance in deep beams, resulting in significant increases in the first crack load.
First cracking load increased by 20.6% to 40.5% for beams without openings, and by 36.4% to 56.7% for those with openings.
Using straight, hooked, or corrugated steel fibres at a constant volume fraction of 1% shows varying effects on shear behaviour.
The findings may inform practical applications in construction, enhancing safety and durability in structural design.

Zewair et al. (2021) studied this question.
