Outline of JSCE Recommendations for Design and Construction of Very High Strength Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Composite Structures（Draft）

Key Points

• This study aims to provide guidelines for the design and construction of very high strength fiber reinforced cementitious composites (VFC).
• Developed guidelines based on existing concrete structure practices.
• Introduced an orientation coefficient to account for fiber alignment and dispersion effects in structural design.
• Considered the potential for combining VFC with traditional reinforcement.
• Outlined the fundamental principles for utilizing VFC in structural applications.
• Emphasized the importance of the fiber bridging effect post-cracking in design considerations.
• Enabled the possibility of integrating VFC with rebar for enhanced structural performance.
