Numerical Simulations of Restrained Shrinkage Cracking in Glass Fibre Reinforced Shotcrete Slabs

Table 3

Amount of glass fibre reinforcement, time at failure due to shrinkage, and measured thickness for slabs 1–6 tested by Bryne et al. [17]. Slabs S1, S4, and S5 are here analysed using FE modelling.

Slab	Fibre content (kg/m^3)	Failure (days)	Thickness (mm)
			Min	Max	Mean
S1	0	6	12	38	25
S2	0	7	21	45	33
S3	5	6	19	48	32
S4	5	14	25	45	37
S5	10	7	20	58	37
S6	10	6	17	57	41

Analysed using FE modelling.
