...E. S. Bernard; R. Coleman Post-crack performance testing of Fiber Reinforced Concrete (FRC) is commonly undertaken using beam tests, such as ASTM C1609/C1609M, or panel tests, such as ASTM C1550. Both these tests demand the use of sophisticated servo-controlled test machines with data acquisition...

..., further work is still needed to link the shrinkage cracking performance of fiber reinforced concrete as evaluated using the restrained ring test to the behavior of these mixtures in different size concrete elements in the field. This study used finite element analysis to investigate the cracking behavior...

...E. S. Bernard Flexural testing of fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) and shotcrete using beams has undergone a steady evolution over the past 30 years to the point where complex servo-controlled test machines are now required to undertake these tests. These machines have been found necessary in order...

...E. S. Bernard; G. G. Xu ASTM C1550 has been used for post-crack performance assessment of fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) and shotcrete (FRS) for several years and has proven to be an excellent tool for quality control testing due to the very low level of within-batch performance variability...

...HB Dhonde; YL Mo; TTC Hsu Passing ability is one of the most important workability properties of self-consolidating concrete (SCC) and self-consolidating fiber reinforced concrete (SCFRC). The popular J-ring apparatus which measures the passing ability indirectly in terms of the difference in drop...

... properties. The de nition of UHPC from the Association Française de Génie Civil Interim Recommendations for Ultra High Performance Fibre-Reinforced Concretes 4 includes the following characteristics: compressive strength that is greater than 150 MPa, internal ber reinforcement to ensure nonbrittle...

...ES Bernard The Round Panel test has recently become standardized as C-1550 for post-crack performance assessment of Fiber Reinforced Concrete (FRC) and Shotcrete (FRS). This test involves the imposition of an out-of-plane point load at a constant rate of displacement to the center of a round panel...
