Abstract
In the last few years the use of Fiber Reinforced Concrete (FRC) has been continuously increased due to the enhanced properties in cracking stage (Rossi and Chanvillard 2000; di Prisco et al. 2004). Fibers for concrete are made of different materials and geometries and each type of fiber improves some specific concrete performances. As an example small steel fibers exhibit their effects for small crack opening while longer fibers activate for larger crack opening.
