Textile reinforced concrete (TRC) is becoming an emerging high-performance construction
material due to its outstanding load-bearing capacity, corrosion resistance, and durability …

Advanced cementitious composites can be designed to have outstanding combinations of
strength (five to ten times that of conventional concrete) and energy absorption capacity (up …

Waste fiber fabric has already become an important pollutant source of the world's
environmental problems. If this waste was added into concrete, could the resulting …

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

Among all building materials, concrete is the most commonly used—and there is a
staggering demand for it. However, as we strive to build taller structures with improved …

The reinforcing efficiency of Textile-Reinforced Concrete (TRC) is often limited by the low
penetrability of the cement products into the inner fibers of the multifilament, leading to …

The interest in retrofit/rehabilitation of existing concrete structures has increased due to
degradation and/or introduction of more stringent design requirements. Among the …

In polymer matrices reinforced with fabrics, the effectiveness of the reinforcement is reduced
when the yarns do not maintain a straight geometry. In cement composites, this concept may …

One of the most efficient ways to obtain a high performance cementitious composite is by
reinforcement with continuous fibers. Production of such composites can readily be based …

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