FRC-CREEP 2016 - International RILEM Workshop on Creep Behavior in Cracked Section of Fiber Reinforced Concrete, Valencia, Spain

The RILEM 261-CCF Technical Committee organizes this international workshop.

Over the past few years, there has been a significant effort in the research, development and application of Fibre Reinforced Concrete (FRC) promoted through the work of many research groups and technical committees.
However, the long-term behaviour of FRC under sustained load is still a controversial topic in both scientific and in technical forums. A proof of this are the papers presented at the last RILEM BEFIB 2012 Conference. Currently, more than 15 research groups in the world are working on the subject and interest has been very strong in the business field.
The absence of a standardized testing methodology to quantify creep in FRC and the work conducted by different groups employing different procedures, leads to results and conclusions that are difficult to compare or to generalize.

Topics about creep on FRC:
- State of art of creep in FRC
- Significance of creep in FRC structures
- Variables affecting creep
- Characterization of creep: test methods
- Models and parameters
- Experimental results
- Structural validation
