Creep and Shrinkage of Fibre-Reinforced Concrete and a Guide for Modeling

A robust advanced model for creep and shrinkage of fibre reinforced concrete is presented; the influence of various types of fibres, their shapes and bonding to the matrix is respected in the models. The intention is to present a method for better understanding rheological performance of fibre reinforced concrete, to improve conventional calculation methods and to offer suitable design tool for practice. The prediction models will create instruments enabling efficiency of materials and offer objective and effective tools increasing in the same time the level of reliability, durability and efficiency of fibre reinforced concrete structural members.
