This praxis-oriented test is especially suitable for characterising the behaviour of fibrereinforced concrete in tunnel linings or industrial floors under local pressures. The load in this test wasapplied at the centre of a square panel. The deflection of the panel was measured continuously. The panelhad a dimension of 600 × 600 × 100 mm3. The square support had an edge length of 500 mm and theloading rate was 1.0 mm/min. In order to reduce friction, the plates were polished parallel to achieve aroughness smaller than 1/100 mm. This test method is equivalent to EN 14488-5 (2006) and the EuropeanSpecification for sprayed concrete guidelines (EFNARC, 2000) with regard to test body dimensions and loadapplication. In addition to those tests, the calculated value of the effective flexural strength fctf is derived as:
