In recent years, an emerging technology termed,“High-Performance Fiber-Reinforced
Concrete (HPFRC)” has become popular in the construction industry. The materials used in …

Fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) has been widely used due to its perfect mechanical
performance, but inclusion of fibers has a decisive influence on the fresh properties …

The present paper describes the results of an experimental investigation on the
performances of concrete specimens reinforced with either steel or macro-synthetic fibres …

The capability of processing robust Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC) materials
with consistent mechanical properties is crucial for gaining acceptance of this new …

Fibre distribution is an important factor, affecting both the fresh-and hardened-state
properties of concrete. The paper describes a study in which the fibre distribution and …

Fibre distribution and orientation in a series of round panel specimens of ultra high
performance fibre reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) was investigated using electrical resistivity …

Governing the dispersion and the orientation of fibres in concrete through a suitably
balanced set of fresh state properties and a carefully designed casting procedure, is a …

The addition of fibers to self-compacting concrete (SCC) may take advantage of its superior
performance in the fresh state to achieve a more uniform dispersion of fibers, which is critical …

Fiber addition has become one of the most prevalent methods for enhancing the tensile
behavior of concrete. Fibers reduce cracking phenomena and improve the energy …

In this paper, the two origins of the preferred orientation of fibers are first reviewed. We then
propose a definition of what to call an oriented fiber from a practical point of view in the …
