The present paper is the second part of two companion papers related with the design and application of fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) in structural elements. It is presented a case study regarding the use of FRC in the development and construction of a new sustainable building system based on the assembly of structural prefabricated sandwich panels formed by thin outer…

Fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) is a cementitious material reinforced with discontinuous fibers, with a progressive increase of use in the last decades. However, designer’s reveal some inexperience with the potentialities of this material and with design approach to be used in the dimensioning of FRC structural elements. This paper aims to present in a comprehensive methodology the design recommendations provided…

A mix design for Steel Fibre Reinforced Self-Compacting Concrete (SFRSCC) was developed for application in lightweight panels as building facades. Concrete precast industry is one of the most suited industries for the use of SFRSCC, as it has the potential not only to use the mix composition but also other steps leading to make structural elements. Since precast element’s demoulding…
