Abstract
Investigations on steel fiber reinforced concrete (RC) beams in torsion show, that the steel fibers positively influence the torsional load-bearing behavior. Since a systematic evaluation of the previously known test results and the derivation of a generally valid design model were lacking until recently, current codes such as Model Code 2010 do not contain any design models for the consideration of the steel fiber load-bearing effect in the torsion design. Due to this, the existing torsion tests on steel fiber RC were summarized in a database. Furthermore, on the basis of the test results and observations, the space truss model developed by Rausch and later refined by Lampert and Thürlimann, among others, was further developed and supplemented by additional longitudinal and transverse steel fiber tension struts. This modified space truss model was validated with the database and shows good to very good predictions to the torsion test data.
