Fiber-reinforced concrete in precast construction
Innovations and applications
Regarding engineering aspects, the use of fibre reinforced concretes in precast construction offers enormous potential because it saves time-consuming and wage-intensive reinforcement works. The DAfStb Guideline “Steel Fibre Reinforced Concrete” for application in building practice in Germany has been introduced by the regulatory authorities for the design of steel fibre reinforced concrete. Due to the lack of experience by the time of introduction, the guideline does not cover the entire range of applications for this construction method.
Recent research results point to further innovations....
