Abstract : This paper presents the flexural behaviour of statically determinate glass fibre reinforced self compacting concrete (GFRSCC) beams, taking into consideration the confinement offered by lateral ties to concrete in the compression zone. A confinement model was developed based on the axial compressive strength studies on tie confined GFRSCC prisms. The confinement model thus developed from the investigation was used as a stress block for confined GFRSCC to generate the complete analytical moment-curvature behaviour. The moment-curvature behaviour obtained using the selected confinement model was compared with the experimental results. It was observed that there was a considerable change in the values of moment curvature due to the addition of glass fibre. The benefit was clearer in the case of glass fibre-based SCC beams. The result obtained from the predicted model is close to the experimental values.
