High Performance Fiber Reinforced Cement Composites 6 HPFRCC 6
High Performance Fiber Reinforced Cement Composites (HPFRCC) represent a class of cement composites whose stress-strain response in tension undergoes strain hardening behaviour accompanied by multiple cracking, leading to a high strain prior to failure. T

Dedication
The Sixth International RILEM Conference on High Performance Fiber Reinforced Cement Composites (HPFRCC6) and its proceedings are dedicated to three outstanding members of our international community who have made significant and lasting contributions to broaden the safe application of fiber reinforced cement and concrete composites through fundamental understanding, testing, analysis, modeling and design. Andrzej M. Brandt Professor Andrzej Marek Brandt was born on November 15, 1930 in Bydgoszcz, Poland. He graduated from the Warsaw University of Technology, Faculty of Civil Engineering, in 1955, then joined the Institute of Fundamental Technological Research (IFTR) of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw, where he has been employed ever since. In 1958-1959, he completed advanced studies at the Centre de Hautes Etudes de la Construction in Paris, France. Professor Brandt holds two doctoral degrees, one in 1962, and one, a DSc, in 1967, both from IFTR. He was promoted Associate Professor in 1967 and Full Professor in 1979. His positions included Chairman of the Committee for Civil Engineering of the Polish Academy of Sciences, and Head of the Section on Strain Fields. Professor Brandt’s main interests have been focused on structural mechanics and bridge design, optimization of structures and materials, strain measurements and analysis, fracture mechanics and mechanics of brittle matrix composites. He is the author or co-author of more than 100 technical papers and 20 books among them a classic titled “Cement Based Composites - Materials, Mechanical Propertie
