Popis: The absence of a standardised methodology to evaluate creep in the cracked state of fibre-reinforced concrete (FRC) hindered general comparisons and conclusions that could lead to significant advances in this topic. A coordinated effort was required to improve the knowledge on long-term behaviour of cracked FRC sections and assess the different testing methodologies available. The RILEM Technical Committee 261-CCF launched in 2015 the round-robin test (RRT) on creep behaviour in cracked sections of FRC program. This chapter includes the introduction and background to understand the realisation of this RRT. The main objectives as well as the limitations of the scope of the RRT are explained. The structure of the book is presented to provide a first overview of the book content. Finally, information about institutions involved as well as geographic distribution of RRT participants and number of specimens tested in the RRT is provided.
