ACI 544.6R-15 Design and Construction of steel fiber-reinforced concrete elevated slabs
ACI 544.6R-15 Design and Construction of steel fiber-reinforced concrete elevated slabs
(OP)
Has anyone had a chance to read through the ACI manual 544.6R-15? It was my understanding that ACI did not have any guides for the design of concrete reinforced with only fibers, but this new guide appears to allow you to design an elevated slab with steel fibers only.
Can anyone confirm that this manual does indeed give guidance to the design and behavior of a concrete slab reinforced with fibers?

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.

I was hoping that this new ACI manual would give a little more than just flexure design, but at least they are starting to recognize that fibers do add some strength to concrete.
