This new edition of the book helps the user to correctly use fiber-reinforced concrete as a building material in accordance with its properties in order to create a long-lasting building to create a long-lasting building for the client at low cost. The chapters on chapters on the properties, design and processing of fiber-reinforced concrete.Fiber-reinforced concrete as an extension of concrete offers considerable advantages for building practice, which, based on the material properties, allow a very long service life. Fiber-reinforced concrete is particularly suitable for an aggressive environment such as salt exposure, since corrosion can be completely avoided.Particular attention is also paid to the shrinkage cracks that occur in the concrete and how they can be and how these can be avoided when using fibers. Fiber-reinforced concrete, with its material properties, acts over the entire cross section cross-section in the non-cracked state and thus also offers protection against internal protection against internal destruction. It is a building material that achieves its full static effect in the non-cracked state similar to most other building materials such as wood, steel, glass, etc. This book is a translation of the original German 3rd edition Faserbeton by Bernhard Wietek, published by Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH, part of Springer Nature in 2020. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors.
