EVALUATION OF SEISMIC SHEAR CAPACITY OF PRESTRESSED CONCRETE CONTAINMENT VESSELS WITH FIBER REINFORCEMENT

摘要

Background: Fibers have been used in cement mixture to improve its toughness, ductility, and tensile strength, and to enhance the cracking and deformation characteristics of concrete structural members. The addition of fibers into conventional reinforced concrete can enhance the structural and functional performances of safety-related concrete structures in nuclear power plants.
