EARLY AGE SHRINKAGE CRACKING OF FIBRE REINFORCED CONCRETE (Qivér Fenjes - Zsuzsanna Jozss Conventional steel retaforced concrete is often sensitive to cracking, and these cracks could be the result of early age shrinkage. Cracks can cause the corrasion of steel reinforcements reducing the lifetime of concrete structures. To reduce this problem fibre reinforced concrete (FRC) is ane possible solution. Laboratory tests have been carried out accarding to the Austrian FRC technical specification, in particular with regard ta early age shrinkage eracking. Four different relatively thin and short fibre typex were used: fabricated from polypropylene, polyacryinitrite and non alkaline resistant E-gtass. In thix paper the retationship between the dosage of fibres and early age shrinkage cracking tendency was tested and effectiveness of fibre types are compared. During the laboratory tests compressive strength was also tested. In ease of every fibre type, ie relationship between dosage and crack tendency were linear. If we testa fibre type again but with a reference ‘mix with higher crack tendency. the two linear curves will approach each other if dosage is increased. Finally, further possibilities are deseribed with testing more fibre types and higher dosages in the future. (Meywordsr senkoge, stage dacing emi age tnt, FAC pore tes, gies ts
