Flexural behavior of self-compacting concrete reinforced with different types of steel fibers (2013, methodology): “Thus, the authors choose the bending tests on notched beams according to [9,10], which is the best candidate to be a standard test method for analyzing the FRC [17].”
Lattice Discrete Particle Model for Fiber-Reinforced Concrete. I: Theory (2012, background): “…in crack width and permeability (Belletti et al. 2008; Lepech and Li 2009), potential cost savings where fiber can be substituted for labor-intensive steel-reinforcing bars (di Prisco et al. 2009), and the mitigation of deterioration owing to shrinkage and the associated early age cracking.”
High-performance fiber-reinforced concrete: a review (2016, background): “the cracked area, the crack width should be limited at the Serviceability Limit State [336].”
Experiences in Barcelona with the use of fibres in segmental linings (2012, background): “Fibre reinforced concrete (FRC) is a composite material that has proved to be a competitive material in many types structures (di Prisco and Toniolo, 2000; di Prisco et al., 2009; Walraven 2009, de la Fuente et al., 2010a).”
