Fibre Reinforced Concrete Class Control via Fib Model Code 2010 Approach

Article Preview

Abstract:

Fibre reinforced concrete (FRC) has wide spectrum of advantages in tunnelling. Post-cracking behaviour of FRC wasn’t taken into account by Russian engineers while structural design led to underestimation of material abilities. New approach is based on fib Model Code 2010, which provides residual tensile strength Class of FRC. Research Center “FRC” (http://rcfrc.com/) carried out tests with specimens of different types of FRC, which supported by Russian Foundation for Basic Research. Research involved different specimens – plain concrete and FRC with macro-synthetic fibre of different dosage and types. The results showed the efficiency of each type of fibre. The Class of FRC was defined for each specimen series according to results.
