Essential information is often buried in codes, reports, and standards. This book presents the essential information required by engineers to utilize SFRC effectively, achieving superior results across a range of applications. The focus is on its most common use in flat, horizontal cast in situ applications, such as ground-bearing slabs, ground-suspended slabs, suspended elevated slabs, and raft slab foundations for buildings, which present more opportunities than three-dimensional structures. Prefabrication and paving are discussed where they intersect with these main applications. Material and structural testing are addressed to guide the design for these typical applications, with attention also given to shrinkage, cracking, fire resistance of slabs and walls, and environmental benefits, alongside future opportunities and challenges. This unique book provides simple practical guidance for designing and placing SFRC It is especially helpful for design-and-build contractors and professional engineers It offers simple tools and methods to launch a project  c10680d10680
