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…

An innovative technique is being developed for the structural rehabilitation of Reinforced Concrete (RC) structures. In particular, the infill walls of RC framed structures are often identified as non-structural elements, but currently are considered with an important role in the structural behavior because they participate to the in-plane strength and stiffness of the frames and they can give very dangerous…

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…
