Civitest lauched a new version of FRCcalc (v2.0.0). FRCcalc is a software developed for the analysis and design of structural members in fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) with or without conventional steel reinforcements. It can be used to perform ultimate and serviceability limit state safety verifications of FRC structural members, considering the recommendations and design guidelines of fib Model Code 2010.…

CiviTest participated in the blind simulation competition for predicting the behaviour of fibre reinforced concrete (FRC) beams of real scale. Amongst a pole formed by 36 international participants using the most well-known FEM-based computer programs and involving the most reputed designers and scientists in the computational mechanics for the analysis and design of FRC structures, we are proud to announce…
CiviTest participated in the “3rd RILEM Spring Convention 2020” (RILEM-SC), which was held in Guimarães, between the 10th and the 14th of March 2020. CiviTest presented the following two papers: – “Urban Furniture in Fiber Reinforcement Concrete with High Durability“, by Felipe Melo, Inês Costa, Tiago Valente, Cristina Frazão, Christoph de Sousa, Ana Moreira and João Sá. – “Integrated model…
CiviTest has carried out an integrated design project, related to the production of special foundations. This work involves: Thermo-mechanical analysis using advanced FEM-based approaches; Assessment of the reliability of the concrete maturation model through in-situ temperature monitoring; Quality control of the applied materials by performing experimental tests.
On the 19th of December, at 02:30 PM, the PhD student Cristina Maria Vieira Frazão (staff member of CiviTest) will defend her thesis. Thesis title: “Recycled Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete for Structural elements subjected to chloride attack: Mechanical and Durability performance”. Location: Sala de Atos – Campus de Azurém, Guimarães Supervisors: Joaquim António Oliveira de Barros; José Alexandre de Brito Aleixo…
