Abstract
Presents papers exploring how developments in the field of fibres could improve the toughness and ductility of concrete in industrial floors, tunnels, mining, security structures and heavy duty pavements, where conventional reinforcement systems are often impractical. Addresses how different fibres work, predicting behaviour through models and design-based approach, and hybrid systems.
