On the other hand, the results also illustrate the significantinfluence of fiber reinforcements on the peak strength and post-peak ductility of theconcrete panel response (when ρ f = 5.0%).τ u u Figure 5.13b deals with the stress-crack opening pre<strong>di</strong>ctions of SFRC when a reductionof the 50% for the dowel strength is considered. Model pre<strong>di</strong>ctions mainly capture thefundamental influence of the dowel effect on the overall response behavior under mixedfailure modes. As expected, it controls thetransverse interaction between concrete andsteel fiber in this complex failure mode.τ 5.2 Cracking analysis of the proposed interface model for FRCCThis section is aimed at analyzing the influence of steel fibers and the stress statev v lying on the initial yiel<strong>di</strong>ng surface on the post-cracking performance and failure104 uu
