ABSTRACT

The present paper describes a model for the prediction of crack width in concrete structures where the traditional concrete is replaced with Fiber Reinforced Concrete (FRC). The paper furthermore describes the verification of the model through experiments and the experimental procedure used. Finally, the paper discusses some industrial applications of the model and how a model like the proposed can be used both in the development of new FRC-materials and new structures which fully exploit the enhanced properties of FRC-materials as compared to conventional concrete.
