Concrete and concrete structures are among the most widely used in the world. For this reason, increasing demands are being placed on concrete. Therefore, its 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, fibre concretes, high-strength fibre 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 elements, or in the reconstruction of existing elements. The project will use experimental measurements on samples in the laboratory and numerical modelling.
