Experimental investigations on Textile-Reinforced Concrete (TRC) sandwich sections
Composite Structures, 2014Abstract Textile-Reinforced Concrete (TRC) is a new construction material that offers several advantages over steel reinforced concrete. These advantages are particularly relevant for applications requiring thin-walled, structural elements with a high load-carrying capacity.

Bending behaviour of novel Textile Reinforced Concrete-foamed concrete (TRC-FC) sandwich elements
Composite Structures, 2017A novel sandwich element design consisting of two facings made of carbon reinforced Textile Reinforced Concrete (TRC), a low density foamed concrete (FC) core and glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) connecting devices was experimentally investigated according to quasi-static and cyclic quasi-static four-point bending.

Contribution to direct tensile testing of textile reinforced concrete (TRC) composites
Materials Science and Engineering: A, 2011Abstract While the development of TRC (Textile Reinforced Concrete) in recent years is undeniable, validated experimental protocols and standards are slow to take hold. By drawing judiciously from previous studies, this work aims to identify and propose contribution to direct tensile test for design purpose which is reliable, efficient and relatively

Shear strengthening of RC beams with textile reinforced concrete (TRC) plate
Construction and Building Materials, 2010Abstract Carbon–epoxy composite materials are of considerable interest for reinforcement, but they need to be improved and have constraints, particularly in terms of cost and criteria of sustainable development. Alternative materials like textile reinforced concrete (TRC) should be seriously considered as substitutes for traditional composite ...

Textile reinforced concrete multiscale mechanical modelling: Application to TRC sandwich panels
Finite Elements in Analysis and Design, 2017Abstract The present study establishes a numerical strategy for describing the textile/concrete bond behaviour in textile-reinforced concrete (TRC) composites that separates the cohesive and coulomb friction contributions. The textile-concrete bond approach, validated on an existing pull out test in the literature, has been used to calibrate the ...

Construction and Building Materials, 2013
Abstract In this paper the mechanical behavior under static and impact loading of concrete elements strengthened with shells of textile reinforced concrete (TRC) made of carbon, alkali-resistant glass and polyethylene fabrics is presented. Testing of the strengthened elements for flexure by static and impact loading showed that the TRC reinforced ...

Bond and failure mechanisms of textile reinforced concrete (TRC) under uniaxial tensile loading
Cement and Concrete Composites, 2007Composites of technical textiles used as reinforcement and fine-grained concrete used as matrix, called textile reinforced concrete (TRC), provide the opportunity to construct thin structural elements. Typically, the reinforcing textiles are made of yarns consisting of hundreds of alkali-resistant glass filaments, which leads to a complex ...

Textile Reinforced Concrete (TRC) as Torsion Strengthening
IABSE Congress, Chicago 2008: Creating and Renewing Urban Structures – Tall Buildings, Bridges and Infrastructure, 2008<p>More and more old buildings must be strengthened. There are various methods by which to improve the torsional resistance of existing reinforced concrete elements. One method entails the use of Textile Reinforced Concrete (TRC). Test results will be used to demonstrate that TRC combined with AR-glass can be used to strengthen the torsional ...

Development of a textile reinforced concrete (TRC) to retrofit reinforced concrete structures
European Journal of Environmental and Civil Engineering, 2015Repairing and strengthening concrete structures with carbon–epoxy composites is of considerable interest; however, there is room for improvement regarding existing methods like bonding of fibre reinforced polymer (FRP). The main objective of this study is to show alternatives to these FRP composites, such as textile reinforced concrete (TRC ...
