The project is concerned with the experimental material characterisation and micromechanical modelling of the reactive powder concrete reinforced with randomly oriented short fibres.
Program Code: 1661
Objectives:
The project is concerned with the experimental material characterisation and micromechanical modelling of the reactive powder concrete reinforced with randomly oriented short fibres. The modelling will involve identification of the input parameters and development of the relevant testing procedures of the material characterisation. The model validation will be performed by comparison of the theoretical/numerical predictions and experimental results obtained for the structural components demonstrators.
Description of Work:
Development of micro-mechanical (FE) model for the reactive powder
concrete reinforced with randomly oriented short fibres
Specimens design, manufacture and testing
FE analysis of the structural components - demonstrators (beams)
Demonstrator manufacture and testing
Model validation
