Many of the studies examined so far have observed and confirmed that shear forces will produce tending swift crosswise a member, it is also probable that shear stresses can root sliding along the plane of weakness instead of diagonal tension in the members where shear span to depth ratio is very small. Performance of members subjected to such an interface shear gets enhanced if such a shear plane is reinforced. The study evaluates the effect of graded steel fibres (0.75mm φ – 60mm length, 0.5mmφ – 30mm length and 0.25mmφ – 12.5mm length) shear behaviour of self-compacting concrete under direct shear test. The experiment conducted on push–off specimens reinforced with graded steel fibres in combination with stirrups indicated better performance compared to the specimens without fibres and stirrups.
