| A new and appealing means of improving cracking behaviour of RC elements is the combined use of rebars and fibres. Previous research has shown Steel Fibres Recycled from End-of-Life Tyres to be effective for this purpose. In this paper practical applications that would benefit from the use of this technique are presented and discussed. Firstly, two previously published examples of crack width calculation according to MC2010 are expanded to the case of study. These practical applications show how a fibre reinforced concrete (FRC) with a rather low post-peak behaviour can provide large improvements in cracking behaviour, being also economically attractive. Then, the case of jointless structures is considered, and the improvements in terms of maximum achievable length are presented and discussed. Finally an analysis regarding the effectiveness of this solution as a function of the reinforcement ratio is discussed for both tension and bending. The main objective of this paper is to encourage the use of Recycled Steel Fibres as an effective and sustainable means of dealing with cracking behaviour for specific applications. | |
