Hybrid lining segments for modern tunnel constructions - Intelligent use of steel fiber reinforcement

18.09.2018


The application of steel fiber reinforced concrete for precast tunnel lining segments is increasingly gaining importance for several years.

The workshop "Hybrid lining segments for modern tunnel constructions - Intelligent use of steel fiber reinforcement" mainly aims to present and discuss recent advances and developments both within and outside the SFB 837.
Furthermore, its objective is to give an overview on practical experiences regarding the use of steel fiber reinforced concrete for segmental linings. In particular aspects of material, production, robustness, durability and sustainability are in the focus of the workshop.
