Steel fibre reinforced concrete (SFRC) exhibits highly nonlinear behaviour and it can be a challenging task to model it accurately, even with contemporary techniques and software. In this contribution several methods for modelling SFRC in ANSYS commercial software for Finite Element Analysis are discussed, including the predefined options provided by ANSYS, as well as a novel approach, which utilizes user-defined subroutines and innovative application of the existing material models. The proposed models are validated against the experimental results from the literature and the accuracy of all the considered modelling approaches is compared. The analysis showed that, although excellent when describing the conventional concrete behaviour, none of the software predefined methods were able to accurately model SFRC, so the new approach presented herein had to be applied. The proposed modelling procedure shows promising results and it could potentially lead to a reliable and robust solution for accurate and numerically efficient modelling of SFRC material nonlinearity in a wide range of engineering problems.
