For certain cases internal reinforcement made of Fibre-reinforced polymers (FRP) is a
promising solution to the degradation of steel reinforcement caused by environmental …

The use of non-metallic, textile reinforcement structures in place of steel reinforcement is a
key component in making concrete constructions more sustainable and durable than they …

Textile reinforced concrete (TRC) has emerged in recent years as an attractive new high
performance cement-based composite. Textiles can significantly improve the mechanical …

This paper presents the results of the mechanical characterization of composite materials
comprising high strength textiles embedded in inorganic matrices. These materials are …

Fibre reinforced composites (FRCs) have been increasingly used in the prefabricated
building (PB) industry owing to its high strength-to-weight ratio, ease of application and …

An important parameter for dimensioning of Textile Reinforced Concrete (TRC) structures
and structural elements is the tensile load-bearing capacity of the composite. Respective …

The integration of advanced textile materials is crucial to enhance the quality of healthcare
solutions. Three-dimensional (3D) knitted spacer fabrics (KSFs) have emerged as a …

Textile-reinforced concrete (TRC) has gained a lot of attraction in recent years. Adequate
bond between the phases in this system allows to transfer high loadings, thus enabling high …

Traditional steel-based reinforcements face corrosion issues that compromise the durability
of concrete structures. Large concrete covers are recommended to mitigate corrosion of …

Textile-reinforced concrete is ideally suited to complement ordinary steel-reinforced
concrete, as the use of textile reinforcement with its outstanding mechanical properties and …
