<p>This paper deals with a shotcrete lining with steel sets. The nonlinear analyses of a reinforced shotcrete lining are performed by using fiber beam-column element, which is a forced based element on the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory. The constitutive model ...

<p>The Western Australian School of Mines (WASM) has developed a facility for the static testing of full scale ground support elements. The test facility consists of several stiff steel frames used to support the sample and a screw feed jack is used to load ...

<p>The paper deals with the concrete lining behaviour at Serviceability Limit State (SLS) in order to evaluate the advantages that result from an optimized reinforcement based on the combination of rebars and fibers with respect to the crack behaviour of segmental ...

<p>New procedures to design cast-in-situ steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) tunnel linings are briefly presented in this paper. The ductile behavior at ultimate limit stage of such cement-based structures is ensured by a suitable amount of steel fibers ...

<p>The structural applications of Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete (SFRC) have recently been increasing due to the improvement of material properties, such as in the material toughness under tension and durability. However, because the behavior of such structures ...

<p>Given the high deformability requirements of shotcrete in repair, rehabilitation, slope stabilization, ground support, and other applications, the use of fibers in shotcrete is growing. Growing also are challenges surrounding the use of fibers in shotcrete ...

<p>The purpose of this paper is to describe some applications where FRS has produced satisfactory results, with reasonable costs and often with a significant reduction in total construction time. The use of shotcrete for slope and rock stabilization has increased ...

The study involved a laboratory and a theoretical analysis designed to understand whether the use of short fibers increases the shear strength of fissured clays. The laboratory experiments involved the direct shear testing of reinforced and unreinforced clay ...

<p>The increasing interest in the use of fibre reinforcement has created a need for established design and analysis methods. Fibre reinforcement is mainly used in applications such as industrial floors and sprayed concrete, although other application areas ...
