Double-curved panels produced in a flexible mould with selfcompacting fibre-reinforced concrete

The number of applications with thin flat, curved or double-curved elements often produced as architectural elements for façades is rising fast. If the repetition factor of the elements is limited, which is often the case in free-form architecture, the high number of unique moulds makes this type of architecture economically less viable....

The production effect on the performance of panels: Cast with self-compacting fibre reinforced concrete

The strain-hardening behaviour of cementitious composites is the result of a synergistic behaviour of the cement matrix and fibres in a cracked cross-section. The distribution and orientation of the fibres are essential in order to obtain such favourable tensile behaviour. Strain-hardening composites can be applied and are especially useftil in...
