Synopsis

This work is dedicated to the study of the relevance of using recovered metal fibers from used tires, denoted as VSF, in civil constructions. The goal is to contribute to environmental protection by opening another avenue for recovery in a field known to be highly polluting. To achieve this, we have adopted a numerical approach, calibrating the parameters of the Concrete Damage Plasticity (CDP) model, available in the finite element analysis code Abaqus, with the results of experimental tests conducted on specimens containing VSF fibers. The obtained results demonstrate the relevance of our approach, highlighting the contribution of VSF fibers in improving the overall and local behavior of structures.
