HPFRCC-7: 7th RILEM Conference on High Performance Fiber Reinforced Cement Composites

OBJECTIVES AND SCOPE:
High Performance Fiber Reinforced Cement Composites (HPFRCC) represent a class of cement composites whose stress-strain response in tension undergoes strain hardening behaviour accompanied by multiple cracking, and leading to a high strain capacity at peak stress. Other indicators may be strength, toughness, ductility, elastic modulus, crack width, fatigue, durability and others. Their scope includes ultra-high performance fiber reinforced cement composites. The primary objectives of this workshop are to provide a compendium of up-to-date information on the most recent developments and research advances in the field of HPFRCC and UHP-FRC Composites; to allow a forum of world specialists to share their knowledge of and experience in such composites; to foster cooperation and technical exchanges between researchers and practitioners in the field; to identify current technical gaps as well as future research needs; and to suggest directions to follow.
