| Abstract: |
A major part of the foundation slab of a high bay warehouse at the Carlsberg brewery in Fredericia, Denmark, and the segmental tunnel lining of the district heating tunnel in Copenhagen, Denmark, have been designed with steel fibre reinforced concrete (SFRC) without traditional rebar reinforcement. The two examples are chosen to demonstrate the application of SFRC as an innovative material for a foundation slab of a tall building and for the construction of a major infrastructure project. The paper presents and discusses the design methods, advantages, special aspects, limitations and risks of steel fibre reinforced concrete for these load bearing structures. |
