ABSTRACT
Fiber Reinforced Concretes (FRC) are composite materials with a cementitious matrix and a discontinuous reinforcement (the fibers) that may be made of metal, glass, synthetic or natural materials.
After almost four decades of research, mechanical properties of FRC have become well known, Standards for material characterization are widely available and design guidelines have been recently proposed (Naaman & Reinhardt, 2003; di Prisco et al., 2004; RILEM, 2002).
