Structural Health Monitoring of Partially Replaced Carbon Fabric-Reinforced Concrete Beam

open access: yesFibers
Textile-reinforced concrete (TRC) is a composite concrete material that utilizes textile reinforcement in place of steel reinforcement. In this paper, the efficacy of the partial replacement of steel reinforcement with textile reinforcement as a ...

RESPONSE OF HIGH-PERFORMANCE FIBRE REINFORCED CONCRETE REINFORCED BY TEXTILE REINFORCEMENT TO IMPACT LOADING

open access: yesActa Polytechnica, 2016
Generally, cement composites like high-performance concrete (HPC) are very brittle. The resistance to the impact loading of the HPFRC and the HPFRC reinforced by the textile reinforcement are compared in this article.

From Green Governance to Biodiversity Strategy: The Role of Environmentally Experienced Directors in Chinese Firms

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how directors with environmental protection (EP) backgrounds influence corporate biodiversity concern (BIO) among Chinese A‐share listed firms from 2008 to 2023. Drawing on Upper Echelons Theory, we argue that directors' environmental expertise shapes firms' biodiversity strategies.

Development of Effective Textile-Reinforced Concrete Noise Barrier [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Thin-walled, high-strength concrete elements exhibiting low system weight and great slenderness can be created with a large degree of lightweight structure using the textile-reinforced, load-bearing concrete (TRC) slab and a shell with a very high level ...

Anchorage Length for Textile Reinforced Concrete

open access: yesInternational Journal of Environmental Protection, 2011
1 Abstract- The anchorage length needed for textile fabrics as reinforcement within a fine-grained concrete matrix was determined based upon specific filament yarn pull-out tests. The purpose of this research was to eliminate the possibility of failure due to fabric pull-out from the matrix in practical applications.

Sustainability Orientation and Entrepreneurial Performance in Resource‐Constrained Contexts

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how sustainability orientation shapes entrepreneurial performance in bottom‐of‐the‐pyramid (BoP) markets by theorizing responsible entrepreneurship as a central mechanism and BoP orientation as a contextual contingency. Using survey data from 283 small‐ and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs) in Ghana, we integrate perspectives
