Abstract:
By using on the one hand a solid suspension model and a maximum paste thickness concept to optimize the matrix composition and on the other a _two levels_ concept to optimize the mixture of different dimensions of fibers introduced in the matrix, it is possible to obtain a high performance multimodal fiber reinforced cement composite (HPMFRCC). This paper presents results concerning the strength and the ductility of one of the HPMFRCCs developed at LCPC.*
