Distinct types of fibers will be used. One type has very low degree of polymerization, which in presence of a veryhigh temperature will sublime. Cellulose fibers with fire retardants products which, in presence of very high temperature, willbe transformed, by pyrolise, into carbon, shrinking, is an alternative solution. Both types of fibers, under the action of fire willcreate a network of micro channels for the escape of the water vapor. These types of fibers have also the purpose of decreasethe crack propagation during the concrete plastic shrinkage phase. The other type of fiber has the purpose of providing highductility for the concrete post-cracking behavior. For the alveolar concrete slab application the FRCEFR has also the purpose ofbeing possible the production of slabs of larger span and thickness without the use of steel stirrups. In the swells for tunnelapplication, the FRCEFR should replace totally the conventional reinforcement.
