Abstract

The chapter delves into the challenges and opportunities of using fibre-reinforced concrete (FRC) in load-bearing structures, focusing on the distribution of steel fibres in large wall elements. It presents data from extensive large-scale tests conducted as part of the Norwegian R&D project 'Fibercon'. The study compares the fibre distribution in walls cast with self-compacting concrete (SCC) and vibrated concrete (VC), using different rheology and casting methods. The results highlight the significant influence of concrete workability and slump flow on fibre distribution, with findings that could inform recommendations for reliable and predictable fibre distribution in structural sections.
