1. 1. Laboratory testing of shotcrete with fibres of steel, basalt or synthetic materials

   University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

   Author : Muralidharan Rengarajan; [2020]
   Keywords : Fibre reinforced shotcrete; Energy absorption; Residual strength; Fibres; and Laboratory testing;

   Abstract : Shotcrete or sprayed concrete has become an inevitable material for stabilising and supporting hard rock tunnels. To prevent rock block fallouts in the excavated tunnel, shotcrete is pneumatically projected under high pressure on the rock surface. READ MORE

3. 2. Seismic evaluation and retrofitting of an existing building in Athens using pushover analysis

   University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

   Author : Angelos Lazaris; [2019]
   Keywords : Earthquakes; seismic analysis; retrofitting; pushover analysis; concrete building; steel bracing; fibre reinforced plastic;

   Abstract : Earthquakes are one of the biggest problems in civil engineering all over the world. Due to earthquakes, great disasters in cities with collapsed structures and human losses have been caused. READ MORE

4. 3. Design of Ultra High Performance Fibre Reinforced Concrete Bridges : A Comparative Study to Conventional Concrete Bridges

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

   Author : Viktor Eriksson; [2019]
   Keywords : Bridge design; CO2 emissions; Mechanical properties and behaviour; Straight short steel fibres; UHPC; UHPFRC; Bro dimensionering; CO2 utsläpp; Korta raka stålfibrer; Mekaniska egenskaper och beteende; UHPC; UHPFRC;

   Abstract : The use of Ultra High Performance Fibre Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) in the construction industry started in the 1990s and has since then been used for bridges all over the world. The mechanical properties and the dense matrix result in lower material usage and superior durability compared to conventional concrete, but the implementation of UHPFRC in the Swedish industry has been delayed.

5. 4. Evaluation of a Tramway’s Track Slab in Conventionally Reinforced Concrete or Steel Fibre Concrete

   University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

   Author : Stavros Zioris; Alija Vranjkovina; [2015]
   Keywords : Steel fibre reinforced concrete SFRC ; conventional reinforcement; finite element;

   Abstract : The dominant reinforcement used widely for concrete structures is conventional steel bars (rebars). Nevertheless, the perpetual effort toward evolution and development could not exclude the engineering field, thus new innovative and sophisticated methods are introduced. READ MORE

6. 5. Punching Shear Capacity of Fibre Reinforced Concrete Slabs with Conventional Reinforcement : Computational analysis of punching models

   University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

   Author : Zeinab Tazaly; [2012]
   Keywords : Steel fibre reinforced concrete slab; punching capacity; concrete test; residual tensile strength; DAfStB; Swedish Concrete Association; conventional reinforcement;

   Abstract : Steel fibre reinforced concrete is not a novel concept, it has been around since the mid-1900s, but despite its great success in shotcrete-reinforced rock walls and industrial floors it has not made any impact on either beams or elevated slab. Apparently, the absence of standards is the main reason. READ MORE
