Abstract

In this research project, the influence of synthetic fibre reinforcement on the mechanical performance of concrete (FRC) and shotcrete (FRS) has been investigated using analytical and numerical methods. The simulations have been compared to experimental results and good agreements between the various research approaches have been attained. A novel machine learning algorithm has been used to assess the failure modes of fibres. In addition, a pioneering cost-effective panel assessment method, the MiniRDP test, has been introduced as an alternative to existing FRS testing techniques.
