Fibers as structural element for the reinforcement of concrete

The purpose of this manual is to provide general information, criteria and new methodologies for the calculation, project and execution of concrete reinforced works with fibers. They will be presented, therefore, the obtained data of the investigations made by Maccaferri, oriented to the study of the behavior, resistance and efficiency of such structures. The Maccaferri intention is to have new and useful contributions to concrete works reinforced with fibers, helping the consultants and contractors work who act in the segment of structural engineering. For a more detailed analysis on the arguments treated here, we suggest to consult the specific publications that are indicated in the bibliographical references. This manual they will be presented and discussed theoretical foundations, numerical examples of the of the concrete reinforced with fibers applications and details of the use of the Wirand® metallic fibers and Fibromac® plastic fibers. Maccaferri is placed to total disposition, to give solution to problems, cradle in its experience, acquired along more than 100 years of existence in all the world.

BS 4482:1985 Specification for cold reduced steel wire for the reinforcement of concrete

Code of practice for BS 8007:1987 Design of concrete structures for retaining aqueous liquids

This British Standard provides recommendations for the design and construction of normal reinforced and prestressed concrete structures used for the containment or exclusion of aqueous liquids. The term “liquid” in this code includes any contained or excluded aqueous liquids but excludes aggressive liquids. The code does not cover dams, pipes, pipelines, lined structures, or the damp-proofing of basements. The term “structure” is used herein for the vessel that contains or excludes the liquid, and includes tanks, reservoirs, and other vessels.
NOTE 1 The design of structures of special form or in unusual circumstances is a matter for the judgement of the designer.
NOTE 2 The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover.

BS 4449:1997+A1 Specification for Carbon steel bars for the reinforcement of concrete

This British Standard specifies requirements for weldable steel bars for reinforcement of concrete. It covers plain round steel bars in grade 250, and deformed (type 1 and type 2) high yield steel bars in grade 460, the latter in two ductility categories, 460A and 460B. The weldability requirements for both grades of steel are specified in terms of the carbon equivalent value. A testing facility for material covered by a third party product certification scheme, and a testing facility for material not covered by such a scheme, are provided. Steel bars for use as lifting hooks are not included in this British Standard. Steel bars produced by re-rolling finished products, or by rolling material of which the metallurgical history is not fully documented or not known, are not covered by this British Standard.
NOTE 1 Flash welds in lengths of bar are permissible. However, for some purposes, purchasers may specifically require bars without flash welds. For this reason, the manufacturer should enquire whether flash welds are acceptable for the purposes of the purchaser at the time of enquiry and/or order (see Annex A).
NOTE 2 All steels conforming to this British Standard are of weldable quality. Appropriate welding procedures and consumables, to each particular grade and quality, should be used (see BS 7123).
