Abstract
High Performance Fiber Reinforced Cement Composites (HPFRCC) show multiple cracking and strain-hardening behaviors in tension. Current applications in Japan include bridge decks, building dampers, retaining wall, irrigation channels and so forth. In addition to tensile load bearing capacity of HPFRCC, protection against penetration of substance through fine cracks is one of the advantages in these applications. This paper introduces recent applications using HPFRCC in Japan.
