Non-destructive evaluation of the steel fibre content and anisometry in thin UHPFRC elements

The tensile response of ultra-high performance fibre-reinforced composites (UHPFRC) is decisive in many applications and depends on the steel fibre content and orientation. These vary troughout the structural element and may differ from those in the laboratory specimens used to characterize the material behaviour. This work presents the...

Towards an integrated simulation of casting and structural performance of flowable fibre-reinforced concrete

Most recent studies on fibre-reinforced self-compacting concrete agree on the impact of the casting conditions on the fibre orientation and distribution, and its consequence thereof on the structural performance. A substantial number of investigations are continuously contributing to gain experience on the use of flowable FRC for different...
