Use of Textile Reinforced Concrete – Especially for Facade Panels

Article Preview

Abstract:

In recent years, textile reinforced concrete (TRC) is at the beginning of industrial production mainly in Germany and relates especially to facade panels and concrete footbridges. The subtle panels with a minimum thickness of coverage layer can be designed due to the textile reinforcement, which is resistant to corrosion. Furthermore, a long durability is expected in case of these structures. The textile reinforcement with the fine-grained ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) enables to produce concrete elements with a minimum thickness. Therefore, the concrete element with up to 70 % lower weight compared to element with conventional reinforcement can be produced and significant environmental savings can be achieved (reducing the consumption of non-renewable raw materials, transport energy, reduced dead load acting on the supporting structure, etc.).
