High Performance Fiber Reinforced Cement Composites 6 - Gustavo J Parra-Montesinos Hans W Reinhardt Gebunden

High Performance Fiber Reinforced Cement Composites (HPFRCC) represent a class of cement composites whose stress-strain response in tension undergoes strain hardening behaviour accompanied by multiple cracking leading to a high strain prior to failure. The primary objective of this International Workshop was to provide a compendium of up-to-date information on the most recent developments and research advances in the field of High Performance Fiber Reinforced Cement Composites. Approximately 65 contributions from leading world experts are assembled in these proceedings and provide an authorit ative perspective on the subject. Special topics include fresh and hardening state properties self-compacting mixtures mechanical behavior under compressive tensile and shear loading structural applications impact earthquake and fire resistance durability issues ultra-high performance fiber reinforced concrete and textile reinforced concrete. Target readers: graduate students researchers fiber producers design engineers material scientists.
