Region-based steel fiber placement in reinforced concrete beams under flexure: A critical review and mechanics-informed framework

Steel fibers can improve crack control, post-cracking stiffness, ductility, and energy absorption of reinforced concrete beams; however, their efficient placement in critical load-resisting regions remains insufficiently clarified. This critical review synthesizes published evidence and structural-mechanics considerati...
