Massicotte, Ecole Polytechnique Montreal, Canada cement composites whose stress-strain response in tension undergoes strain hardening V. Mechtcherine, TU Dresden, Germany behaviour accompanied by multiple cracking, and leading to a high strain capacity at peak H. Mihashi, Tohoku University, Japan stress. Other indicators may be strength, toughness, ductility, elastic modulus, crack width, B. Mobasher, Arizona State University, Tempe, USA fatigue, durability and others. Their scope includes ultra-high performance fiber reinforced H.S. Müller, Institute of Technology of Karlsruhe, Germany cement composites. The primary objectives of this workshop are to provide a compendium of C. Ostertag, University of California, Berkeley, USA up-to-date information on the most recent developments and research advances in the field A. Peled, Ben Gurion University, Israel of HPFRCC and UHP-FRC Composites; to allow a forum of world specialists to share their G. Plizzari, University of Brescia, Italy knowledge of and experience in such composites; to foster cooperation and technical ex- P. Rossi, IFSTTAR, France changes between researchers and practitioners in the field; to identify current technical gaps M. Schmidt, University of Kassel, Germany as well as future research needs; and to suggest directions to follow. P. Serna Ros, Polytechnic University of Valencia, Spain Y.
