The technical and economic suitability of using fibers has been proved in reinforced concrete pipes.However, the use of fibers in concrete pipe is slow, on the one hand due to the inertia to change in the construction ...
Concrete technology has changed greatly in the past decades. Steel fibre reinforced concrete (SFRC) is an example of the development in this field. It is obtained by adding fibres that act as a reinforcement of the cement ...
En esta Tesis Doctoral se abordan aspectos de gran interés en relación a la caracterización del HRFP, la definición de una ecuación constitutiva considerando la orientación de las fibras, y el comportamiento diferido del ...
