“…Steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) is currently the material of choice for a broad range of structures such as industrial floors (e.g., in manufacturing or processing plants and storage facilities), prefabricated elements, thin shells, segmental and sprayed as well as cast final tunnel linings, special foundations and slabs on grade, watertight and containment structures (immersed structures, silos, nuclear facilities), and protection and defense structures. Furthermore, its use is also confirmed for many commonplace concrete component design situations, replacing the entire or a large portion of conventional rebar reinforcement in order to improve their load-bearing behavior as well as their serviceability and durability characteristics [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ]. The use of fiber reinforcement thus plays a vital role in acute current and future construction industry objectives, these being a simultaneous increase in the service life of structures (by limitation of failure probabilities and improved durability) and the reduction of their environmental impact (reduced use of cement and structural steel and thinner cross sections), in addition to their resilience to extreme loads and environmental actions [ 12 , 13 , 14 ].…”
