Abstract Currently, a wider development of modern concrete mixes in the construction industry is expected, such as concretes with alternative cement types and binders, recycled aggregates, but also dispersed fiber reinforcement to speed up our work cutting greenhouse gases making buildings last longer. In fact, using steel or synthetic fibers now gaining share various applications industrial floors, slabs, tunnels, it being introduced next generation Eurocode 2. An constantly developing fastening method direct by use power actuated fasteners (PAFs), which offer many advantages terms installation simplifying on‐site tasks. However, due significant variability load‐bearing performance fasteners, particular attention needs be given reliability characteristics redundancy‐based design approach. The objective presented study provide fundamental engineering concepts for fastenings discuss experimental results on PAFs reinforced concrete. A probabilistic redundancy assessment multiple was conducted MATLAB this emphasize variation 5% quantile capacity when considering them nail groups. conclusions enable comparative 320 tested different contents, allowing useful design, they substantial reference future research applications.
