Abstract

Textile-reinforced concrete (TRC) has been characterized as a spearheading innovation. Prefabrication provides a fertile ground for the implementation of the TRC technology fostering high-quality built outcomes in the sense of structural performance, energy efficiency and architectural/aesthetical value. This chapter focuses on the most widespread precast applications of TRC technology, namely on exterior cladding systems and façades and on sandwich elements, while also providing brief information on various other innovative prefabricated TRC products. Future trends in TRC-based prefabrication are discussed in the last section of the chapter.
