Multidirectional double punch test to assess the post-cracking behaviour and fibre orientation of FRC

TLDR
In this paper, an alternative to the conventional tests applied for the characterization of fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) is proposed, which consists of a double punch test applied to a cubic specimen.

Comparison of the structural behavior of reinforced concrete and steel fiber reinforced concrete tunnel segmental joints

TL;DR: In this paper, the performance-based engineering (PBE) concept was introduced to assess the robustness of the tested segmental joints with steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) joints.

Fibre distribution in macro-plastic fibre reinforced concrete slab-panels

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of flowability and wall-effects of the formwork in the orientation pattern of macro-plastic fibres was studied, and the results showed that plastic fibres tend to be oriented parallel to the walls or surfaces of a formwork and perpendicular to the flow direction for a free surface flow.

Design of FRC tunnel segments considering the ductility requirements of the Model Code 2010

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a critical analysis of the design of FRC segments according to the ductility requirements from the Model Code 2010; an alternative approach is proposed that is compatible with the condition found in some tunnels.

Assessing the potential of functionally graded concrete using fibre reinforced and recycled aggregate concrete

TL;DR: FGC, even though showing a post-cracking flexural performance lower than conventional FRC, possesses high potential in terms of structural design based on Model Code 2010 specifications, and presents a good prospect to be used as structural material for future sustainable concrete elements.

Constitutive model for fibre reinforced concrete based on the Barcelona test

TL;DR: In this paper, a formulation to predict the tensile behaviour of fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) is developed based on the results of the Barcelona test, which is validated by simulating results of an experimental program involving different types of fibres and fibre contents by means of finite element software.

The relation between fiber orientation and tensile behavior in an Ultra High Performance Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Composites (UHPFRCC)

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of the fiber orientation distribution on the tensile behavior of UHPFRCC was investigated in two stages; precracking and post-cracking tensile behaviors.

Distribution and orientation of fibers in steel fiber reinforced concrete

TL;DR: In this paper, the number of fibers per unit cross-sectional area in steel fiber reinforced concrete specimens incorporating various volume fractions of fibers of different types was measured and the differences in fiber concentrations at different locations on the cross-section were assessed.

Assessment of fibre orientation in ultra high performance fibre reinforced concrete and its effect on flexural strength

TL;DR: In this article, a series of round panel specimens of ultra high performance fiber reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) was investigated using electrical resistivity measurements and confirmed by X-ray CT imaging.
