Although fibres have been used by the construction industry for several decades, their use in structural applications is still very modest if one considers the gigantic potential of concrete structures around the world and the benefits expected of their mechanical behaviour and durability. However, recent technological developments and large scale applications have demonstrated that FRC has reached a level of maturity such that these innovative materials can be used by engineers with confidence. From that perspective, the aim of the FRC 2014 workshop was to provide the state-of-the-art on the recent progress attained in terms of specifications and actual applications. Presentations covered several design guidelines adopted worldwide illustrating the progress made in the last ten years, and also a wide spectrum of FRC applications such as beams, elevated floors, tunnel linings, slabs, pavements, precast elements, bridge elements, and many others.
More than fifty papers were presented at the workshop, from which 44 were selected for this joint ACI-fib publication.
