Twelve shear tests were conducted on fiber-reinforced precast/prestressed concrete hollow-core (PCHC) slabs to quantify the effectiveness of polypropylene (pp) and steel fibers (hooked and high-strength/straight types) on shear resistance. Different volume fractions of pp fibers (0.11 and 0.22%) and...
