...E. S. Bernard The mechanical performance of fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) is commonly assessed using simply-supported beam-based test methods such as ASTM C1609/C1609M-19, Standard Test Method for Flexural Toughness of Fiber-Reinforced Concrete (Using Beam with Third-Point Loading) , and EN 14651...

...E. S. Bernard The ASTM C1609/C1609M beam test, Standard Test Method for Flexural Performance of Fiber-Reinforced Concrete (Using Beam with Third-Point Loading) , has been used for assessing the flexural performance of fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) for many years. The procedure involves...

...E. S. Bernard The ASTM C1550, Standard Test Method for Flexural Toughness of Fiber Reinforced Concrete (Using Centrally Loaded Round Panel) , round panel test has been used for quality control of fiber-reinforced shotcrete (FRS) and concrete (FRC) on numerous construction projects internationally...

...Sahar Y. Ghanem; Jonathan Bowling Fibers are used to improve the properties of concrete. This article investigates the mechanical properties of chopped carbon-fiber–reinforced concrete (CFRC). The properties examined include workability, compressive strength, splitting tensile strength...

... on various types of fibers and their influence on the tensile capacity of concrete. However, as an important property, tensile capacity of fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) is not modeled properly. Therefore, this article intends to formulate an artificial neural network (ANN) model based on experiments...

...Erik Stefan Bernard Panel and beam tests are widely used to assess the flexural performance of fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC). The performance data obtained in these tests is used for applications ranging from materials research to structural design and quality control. Designers that specify...

...E. S. Bernard; G. G. Xu With the increasing use of fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) for civil infrastructure projects, challenges have become apparent in quality control (QC) testing for this material. The most common problem is high variability, but a secondary problem is identifying the most...

...E. S. Bernard; G. G. Xu The post-crack performance of fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) is widely reported to exhibit a high degree of variability. Several reasons exist to explain this problem, most notably the small area of crack surface involved in most beam tests. Of less widely recognized...
