Aim and Scope
After more than fifty years of research dedicated to the unique material properties, the last two decades have focused on introducing Fiber Reinforced Concrete (FRC) to several building codes as a structural material; this has allowed an increasing use among practitioners in tunnel linings, elevated slabs, precast elements, and other structures. The new prospects for use of FRC include primary reinforcement or hybrid form with rebars, FRP, or welded mesh. Additionally, when sustainability, serviceability, maximum allowable crack width, member size reduction, and stiffness are of concern, tailoring the FRC with enhanced mechanical properties has been demonstrated to be a suitable solution for new or strengthening existing structures, thus extending the service life of structures.
The design focus area was first addressed in 2004 (Bergamo, Italy), and then held nearly once every four years with the second workshop in 2014, (Montreal, Canada), and 2018 in (Desenzano, Italy). The aim is to provide State-of-the-Art on the recent worldwide developments in structural applications of FRC. Presentations of case studies will focus both on structural design and on the description of applications such as beams, columns, ductility-based design, elevated floors, tunnel linings, foundations, industrial slabs, precast elements, bridges and other applications. Special attention will be also devoted to the development of structural codes as well as to the durability of FRC structures by considering the significant reduction of the crack opening provided by fiber reinforcement. This workshop will attempt to bring various sectors of the research community and industry together to promote a cross-fertilization of ideas, new concepts, and structural applications.
