Fiber Reinforced Concrete (FRC) incorporates fibers into the concrete matrix to enhance its mechanical properties. For example, we can refer to tensile strength, toughness, and impact resistance. This innovation reduces concrete’s inherent brittleness, making it more ductile and capable of withstanding higher stresses without failure. FRC’s ability to bridge cracks and improve durability makes it ideal for demanding structural applications, including industrial floors, pavements, bridge decks, and airport runways. Accurate analysis of FRC beams, particularly their flexural behavior, is crucial for predicting performance under real-world conditions. We use Abaqus, a powerful finite element analysis software, to simulate and analyze these beams. It provides insights into how fiber content, concrete strength, and reinforcement ratios affect structural performance. These simulations provide valuable data for engineers, researchers, and students, aiding in the design and optimization of FRC structures.
