Ground Supported Short Fiber Reinforced Concrete Industry Plate

Abstract

The present paper describes the elastic theory and Losberg Yield Line theory with plastic approach of solution. The finite element method for modeling of fiber reinforced concrete plates placed on Winkler foundation was used. There is presented Tsai and Pagano model within micromechanics of composite materials with short fibers. As the application problem it was used example of fiber-reinforced concrete industry plate. The strength obtained from elastic and plastic approach was compared and discussed in the conclusion of the paper.
