The use of steel fibers as shear reinforcement in reinforced concrete beams helps in enhancing the first cracktensile strength and ultimate tensile strength resulting in increase in shear strength and possible prevention of shearfailure.The ultimate tensile strength is increased because additional energy is needed to pull or strip. The Fiber out ofconcrete, if the fibers were not broken off during initial cracking steel fibers have some advantages over vertical stirrupsor bent up flexural reinforcement in resisting the shear force. Conventional stirrups reinforcement requires a high laborinput for bending fixing in position. In thin web, placement of stirrups becomes completely impractical this is particularlytrue of prestressed concrete beams.
