Abstract: Basically there are two possible ways to describe the behaviour of steel fibre reinforced concrete (SFRC) under tension, especially the non-linear post-cracking behaviour: the stress-strain relation (sigma-epsilon) and the stress-crack opening relation (sigma-w). These two mod-els have been restraint by RILEM TC 162-TDF to set up testing and design methods for SFRC. The s-e-design method which is described in this paper, is based on Eurocode 2 and the design parameters in the sigma-epsilon -relation are determined by means of a displace-ment controlled bending test on notched prisms.
