Abstract:

The idea of using strong discontinuous fibers as reinforcement for concrete seems to have been both a seduction and a challenge to many civil engineers. Adding the reinforcement to the mixer in the form of fibers, simply like adding aggregates or admixtures, to create a homogeneous, isotropic, moldable structural material is a dream that has started more than a century ago, is still in the making today, and is not far from being attained.
