As calcium hydroxide disintegrates at lower temperatures than other cement hydration products, reducing it through the pozzolanic reaction with fly ash has been shown to improve the thermal stability of SHCC. It reacts with the calcium hydroxide produced in the primary hydration of cement. The contributions present traditional and new ideas that will open novel research directions and foster multidisciplinary collaboration between different specialists.Ĭlass F fly ash is an integral component of most Strain Hardening Cementitious Composites (SHCCs). It discusses a diverse range of topics concerning FRC: technological aspects, nanotechnologies related with FRC, mechanical properties, long-term properties, analytical and numerical models, structural design, codes and standards, quality control, case studies, Textile-Reinforced Concrete, Geopolymers and UHPFRC.Īfter the symposium postponement in 2020, this new volume concludes the publication of the research works and knowledge of FRC in the frame of BEFIB from 2020 to 2021 with the successful celebration of the hybrid symposium BEFIB 2021. This volume highlights the latest advances, innovations, and applications in the field of fibre-reinforced concrete (FRC), as presented by scientists and engineers at the RILEM-fib X International Symposium on Fibre Reinforced Concrete (BEFIB), held in Valencia, Spain, on September 20-22, 2021.
