Renata Monte's research contributions significantly advance the understanding of the structural behavior of fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) materials. Their work encompasses various aspects, including pullout resistance from cementitious matrices, crack bridging properties of waterproofing membranes, and post-cracking parameters of FRC members. Additionally, they explored alternative small-scale tests for characterizing FRC's mechanical behavior, designing optimized sfrc members using multiscale models, and evaluating the influence of accelerator chemical processes on sprayed cementitious matrices' properties. These studies enhance the relevance of FRC in construction applications, contributing to improved durability, performance, and safety.
