Guest-speaker: High-performance fibres in concrete
With David Oliveira, Technical Director, Aurecon and Kristian Krabbenhoft from Optum
The design of fibre-reinforced concrete structures must follow the design principles concerning limit state similar to those adopted for conventionally reinforced concrete. However, the use of linear elastic analysis or conventional yield line theory may, in many cases, underestimate the benefits of the fibres to provide greater load-bearing capacity, particularly when high-performance steel fibres are adopted.
In this webinar, the benefits of high-performance fibres are explored via two case studies involving tunnel linings for the Sydney Metro and the Westconnex motorway project, also in Sydney, Australia.
