Concrete and structural steel are among the most used materials in the world, from which concrete and steel structures, or composite structures, are made. For this reason, more and more demands are placed on concrete and concrete structures, as well as on steel structures. Therefore, their properties (mechanical, chemical, and physical) are being improved and refined. New requirements in construction practice are met by high-performance concretes (HPC). These concretes include high-strength concretes, fiber concretes, high-strength fiber concretes, etc. Despite the fact that quite a lot is already known about them, they are not yet commonly used in practice in the Slovak environment. The aim of the project is to start using local resources for their production as much as possible and to adapt them to the Slovak conditions. This means designing such recipes that Slovak producers will be able to produce them. At the same time, the project will verify their use in the production of new members, or in the reconstruction of existing members (reinforced or prestressed concrete, steel). The project will use experimental measurements on samples in the laboratory and numerical modeling.
