Flexural toughness of fibre reinforced concrete

Fibres are added to concrete to improve energy absorption and apparent ductility. Flexural toughness, derived from the load-deflection response, is often used to describe these improvements. There are, however, a number of uncertainties regarding how FRC flexural toughness should be measured, int...
