Full title and description
St ACI SP-310-16 — Fibre‑Reinforced Concrete: From Design to Structural Applications (Proceedings of the ACI‑fib International Workshop FRC 2014). This ACI Special Publication collects peer‑reviewed papers and workshop proceedings on design methods, material characterization, and structural applications of fibre‑reinforced concrete (FRC).
Abstract
This special publication presents selected papers from the ACI–fib international workshop FRC 2014 (Montreal). Topics include material properties and testing of FRC, design approaches and code developments, structural applications (slabs, beams, tunnels, precast elements, bridge components), case studies, and durability/life‑cycle considerations. The volume summarizes state‑of‑the‑art research and practical guidance for using FRC in structural design and construction.

Scope
This publication compiles the technical papers and discussions presented at the ACI–fib FRC 2014 workshop and is intended to document the state‑of‑the‑art in fibre‑reinforced concrete. It covers testing and characterization methods for fibres and FRC, design philosophies and comparisons with conventional reinforced concrete, code and guideline developments internationally, structural design examples and case studies (slabs-on‑grade, elevated slabs, beams, tunnel linings, bridge and precast applications), durability and lifecycle issues, and emerging research directions.
Key topics and requirements
- Material characterization and test methods for different fibre types (steel, synthetic, glass, natural).
- Design approaches for structural FRC, including comparisons with fib Model Code and national guidelines.
- Serviceability, ductility, and residual strength requirements for FRC elements.
- Guidance on structural applications: slabs, beams, tunnel linings, precast elements, bridge components.
- Durability, cracking control, and life‑cycle considerations for FRC structures.
- Case studies demonstrating practical implementation and performance monitoring.
Typical use and users
Engineers, researchers, standards developers, concrete technologists, designers of pavements and industrial floors, bridge and tunnel designers, and contractors considering or implementing fibre‑reinforced concrete solutions will use this publication as a technical reference and workshop proceedings record. It is useful for informing specification development, code committees, and advanced design practices for FRC.

FAQ
Q: What is this standard?
A: St ACI SP‑310‑16 is the ACI Special Publication (SP‑310) issue associated with the ACI–fib International Workshop FRC 2014, titled "Fibre‑Reinforced Concrete: From Design to Structural Applications"; it records workshop papers and technical discussions on FRC.
Q: What does it cover?
A: It covers material testing and characterization for fibres and FRC, design approaches (including comparisons with model codes), structural application examples (slabs, beams, tunnels, precast, bridges), durability and lifecycle topics, and case studies from international practice.
Q: Who typically uses it?
A: Structural and materials engineers, researchers, standards and code committee members, specifiers, and contractors who work with or evaluate fibre‑reinforced concrete. It is particularly useful to those preparing specifications or assessing FRC for structural use.
Q: Is it current or superseded?
A: The SP‑310:2016 issue has been listed as superseded by later releases of ACI SP‑310 (a 2017 listing and subsequent availability of later print/POD editions are reported).
