Abstract

The analysis of the results of the round-robin test (RRT) comprised many steps. The variation of the main variables such as the number of samples tested, environmental conditions, pre-crack level or creep index and mechanical performance were analysed among all the RRT participants. In addition, the main methodologies were independently analysed to search significances between the participant procedures. Analysis of the described procedures, test setups and equipment provided relevant information about such existent differences between participants in terms such as load configuration, boundary conditions or frames construction. The creep coefficient and crack opening rate (COR) parameters were defined and analysed. The complementary data number of fibres in the cross section was analysed to assess the influence in the long-term residual performance. Finally, the correlation between different fibre-reinforced concrete (FRC) specimens as well as the influence of ageing of concrete matrix were analysed.
