Concrete Society Technical Report 63
Guidance for the design of steel-fibre-reinforced concrete
Author: The Concrete Society | Size: 10.9 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: The Concrete Society | Year: 2007 | pages: 109 | ISBN: 1904482325
Although steel-fibre-reinforced concrete (SFRC) has been used in the UK and elsewhere for a number of years, there are no agreed design approaches for many of the current applications. This differs from conventional reinforced concrete using steel bars or welded fabric, which has been covered by national and international design codes for many years.
One example is the design of pile-supported floors, which are widely used for industrial buildings, warehouses and similar applications, for which various fibre manufacturers and specialist contractors have produced guidelines. RILEM (the International Union of Laboratories and Experts in Construction Materials, Systems and Structures) published a design method for steel fibres combined with reinforcement in 2003('). This used the draft Eurocode 2, ENV 1992-1-V2)a, s a framework but modified it to reflect the behaviour of fibrereinforced concrete observed in beam tests. In the Netherlands, CUR (the Centre for Civil Engineering Research and Codes) is preparing recommendations for SFRC industrial floors on piles(3)t;h is guidance will be restricted to applications beneath which there will be neither occupancy nor crawl spaces. This restriction is presumably aimed at limiting the risk to life from a failure. It should be noted that in some cases failures of such floors could still lead to a risk to life due to collapse of supported structures or fittings. The choice of design method should take into account this risk.
This Technical Report summarises the wide range of current applications for SFRC, including ground-supported and pile-supported slabs, sprayed concrete, composite slabs on steel decking and precast units. The Report also considers practical aspects such as production and quality control. Where possible it presents a detailed review of the design methodologies currently in use, with the aim of promoting an understanding of the technical issues involved. Normally, it is not possible to give definitive design guidelines but the information provided will allow the designers to exercise judgement in this area of evolving technology.
In general, the concrete in these applications has a fibre content of around 40kg/m3. Elevated suspended slabs with dosage in the region of 100kg/m3 have been built but elements with such dosages are outside the scope of this Report, as are ultra-high performance concreted4) which are highly specialised materials that may have a dosage of 150kg/m3 or more.

If you design or specify lighting in workspace layouts, then you'll need to know about changes to the standard for lighting indoor work places, which might affect your work.
The standard's aim is to encourage designers to plan and introduce appropriate lighting controls for regular lighting layouts in buildings. It will be especially useful when subdividing lighting for use only when a specific area is occupied.
What changes have been made to BS EN 12464-1?
Significant changes in this revised version aim to encourage you to consider all light sources, including natural light, not just electric lighting, as previously.
It recognises the importance of daylight for energy saving.
It includes the requirement for ceiling and wall illuminance to increase the brightness of a room.
Other changes include:
Importance of daylight is taken into account: Requirements for lighting are generally applicable independent if provided by artificial lighting, daylight or a combination of both
Specification of a minimum illuminance on walls and ceilings
Specification of cylindrical illuminance and detailed information on modelling
Uniformity of illuminance is assigned to tasks and activities
Definition of an illuminance grid is in accordance with EN 12464-2
New luminance limits are set for luminaires used with Display Screen equipment (DSE), the description of display screens is according ISO 9214-307.
Adequate and appropriate lighting enables people to perform visual tasks efficiently and accurately. The degree of visibility and comfort required in a wide range of work places is governed by the type and duration of the activity.
BS EN 12464 is the standard that specifies lighting requirements for people in indoor work places, which meet the needs for visual comfort and performance of people having normal ophthalmic (visual) capacity. All usual visual tasks are considered, including display screen equipment (DSE).
Part 1 of BS EN 12464 specifies the requirements for lighting solutions for most indoor work places and their associated areas in terms of quantity and quality of illumination. In addition recommendations are given for good lighting practice.
BS EN 12464-1 does not specify lighting requirements with respect to the safety and health of people at work and has not been prepared in the field of application of Article 153 of the EC treaty, although the lighting requirements, as specified in this European Standard, usually fulfil safety needs.
Lighting requirements with respect to the safety and health of workers at work can be contained in Directives based on Article 153 of the EC treaty, in national legislation of member states implementing these directives or in other national legislation of member states.
BS EN 12464 neither provides specific solutions, nor restricts the designer’s freedom from exploring new techniques, nor restricts the use of innovative equipment. The illumination can be provided by daylight, artificial lighting or a combination of both.
BS EN 12464 does not apply to the lighting of outdoor work places and underground mining or emergency lighting. For outdoor work places, see BS EN 12464-2 and for emergency lighting, see BS EN 1838 and BS EN 13032-3 .
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

BS EN 12464-2 is the standard that focuses on the recommendations for outdoor work places that are used at night. BS EN 12464-2 includes important recommendations on how obtrusive light can be limited, to keep our night sky free of light pollution.
Part 2 of BS EN 12464 provides the lighting design criteria for 15 installation task groups and 97 task activities. It also defines the maintenance, energy efficiency and system verification procedures. BS EN 12464 is essential reference for all lighting designers and users.
To enable people to perform outdoor visual tasks efficiently and accurately, especially during the night, adequate and appropriate lighting has to be provided.
The degree of visibility and comfort required in a wide range of outdoor work places is governed by the type and duration of activity.
BS EN 12464-2 is the standard that specifies the requirements for lighting of tasks in most outdoor work places and their associated areas in terms of quantity and quality of illumination.
In addition recommendations are given for good lighting practice. Lighting requirements for outdoor work places are specified to meet the needs for visual comfort and performance and all usual visual tasks are considered.
The BS EN 12464-2 standard provides guidance rather than specific solutions, and so the designer will have free choice to explore new techniques and use innovative equipment.
