A number of research projects have been carried out since CRC was developed in 1986. Besides establishing CRC-behaviour with regard to durability, bending, shear, ductility, fatigue, pull-out, impact, triaxial compression etc., the projects have been aimed at describing the advantages of CRC for specific applications. A EUREKA project carried out with Danish and British partners led to design, production and full-scale testing of tunnel linings in CRC. A Brite/EuRam project with Danish, French and Spanish partners included large scale production and tests of columns, joints and beams.
Another Brite/EuRam project with partners from 7 different European countries, where fire resistance of high performance and ultra high performance concrete was investigated was concluded in 1999.
