Abstract
In order to improve the load bearing behavior of concrete structures which are subject to bending and tensile stresses, a steel reinforcement is, in general, applied. For reasons of corrosion protection, the steel reinforcement requires a concrete cover with a thickness of several centimeters. The demand for corrosion-resistant thin-walled parts is a motivation for the application of alternative reinforcement materials. Within the scope of the Collaborative Research Centre “SFB 532” the application of textiles made of polymer, carbon, and alkali-resistant (AR) glass filaments in a fine concrete matrix are examined. The long term aim is to reach the filament strength of the immersed textiles as thoroughly as possible. As a consequence of textile manufacturing processes and of bad bond properties, the utilization of AR glass textiles is approximately 30% compared to the material strength. In this paper the possibility of improving the load bearing behavior of textile-reinforced concrete structures through t...
