Faculty Civil Engineering and Geosciences Department Mechanics, Materials and Structures Date 2001-01-01 Abstract The project 'self-compacting fibre-reinforced concrete (SCFRC)' is part of the Dutch STW/PPM program - 'cement-bonded materials' - DCT.4010. Subproject III to which the project ,SCFRC' belongs deals with the development of new high performance concretes. The project 'SCFRC' aims at investigating the effect of type and content of fibres on the characteristics of self-compacting concrete in order to optimise the mixture composition. Fibres are able to bridge cracks and to improve the ductility of otherwise brittle cementitious materials. Therefore, the addition of fibres might extend the possible fields of application of self-compacting concrete. Besides the properties in the fresh state, while the concrete still flows, the mechanical behaviour will be investigated. This paper aims at introducing the reader to the goals, methods of research, and first experimental results of the project 'SCFRC'.
