Book Description
This volume highlights the latest advances, innovations, and applications in the field of fibre-reinforced concrete (FRC), as presented by scientists and engineers at the RILEM-fib X International Symposium on Fibre Reinforced Concrete (BEFIB), held in Valencia, Spain, on September 20-22, 2021. It discusses a diverse range of topics concerning FRC: technological aspects, nanotechnologies related with FRC, mechanical properties, long-term properties, analytical and numerical models, structural design, codes and standards, quality control, case studies, Textile-Reinforced Concrete, Geopolymers and UHPFRC. After the symposium postponement in 2020, this new volume concludes the publication of the research works and knowledge of FRC in the frame of BEFIB from 2020 to 2021 with the successful celebration of the hybrid symposium BEFIB 2021. The contributions present traditional and new ideas that will open novel research directions and foster multidisciplinary collaboration between different specialists.

Innovative Materials and Techniques in Concrete Construction
Author: Michael N. Fardis
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9400719973
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 386
Book Description
Recent years have seen enormous advances in the technology of concrete as a material, through which its strength, compactness and ductility can reach levels never dreamed of before. Thanks to these improved material properties, the strength and durability of concrete structures is greatly improved, their weight and dimensions reduced, the scope of concrete as a structural material is widened and – despite the higher material costs – overall economy is possible, with positive impacts on sustainability as well. Similar advances are underway in reinforcing materials, notably high strength steel and fibre-reinforced polymers, and in the way they are combined with concrete into high performance structures. Developments in materials and equipment, as well as new concepts, have lead to innovative construction techniques, reducing cost and construction time and making possible the application of concrete under extreme conditions of construction or environment. All these advances will be highlighted in the book by the top experts in the field of concrete structures, namely those currently active in the field’s leading and truly international scientific and technical association: the International Federation of Structural Concrete (fib) www.fib-international.org. Audience: Practicing engineers and firms, academics, researchers and graduate students, will all find the book timely, informative and very interesting.

Fiber Concrete

Languages : en
Pages : 267
Book Description
This new edition of the book helps the user to correctly use fiber-reinforced concrete as a building material in accordance with its properties in order to create a long-lasting building to create a long-lasting building for the client at low cost. The chapters on chapters on the properties, design and processing of fiber-reinforced concrete.Fiber-reinforced concrete as an extension of concrete offers considerable advantages for building practice, which, based on the material properties, allow a very long service life. Fiber-reinforced concrete is particularly suitable for an aggressive environment such as salt exposure, since corrosion can be completely avoided.Particular attention is also paid to the shrinkage cracks that occur in the concrete and how they can be and how these can be avoided when using fibers. Fiber-reinforced concrete, with its material properties, acts over the entire cross section cross-section in the non-cracked state and thus also offers protection against internal protection against internal destruction. It is a building material that achieves its full static effect in the non-cracked state similar to most other building materials such as wood, steel, glass, etc. This book is a translation of the original German 3rd edition Faserbeton by Bernhard Wietek, published by Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH, part of Springer Nature in 2020. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors.
