Publications

Explore publications and technical articles addressing concrete materials, structural behaviour, and design methodologies, including steel fibre reinforced self-stressing concrete (SFRSSC). The articles present research-based analysis, experimental results, and practical applications that support the design of efficient, durable, and sustainable concrete structures.

Self-stressing steel fibre-reinforced concrete (SFRSSC) is increasing-ly utilised every day, with its areas of applicability expanding. One such appli-cation is ground-level elevated slabs on piles, along with elevated slabs on columns. Authors: Martins Suta, Ulvis Skadins, Cosmin Popescu, Bjorn Taljsten, Gregor Fischer, Liga Gaile
