Abstract
AbstractThe performance of textile reinforced concrete composite panels (TRCCPs) under the action of pseudo-static load up to collapse was evaluated. The test of TRCCPs under axial and transverse loading was conducted, and the results were compared with those for steel wire mesh reinforced-concrete composite panels (SMRCCPs). Ceram-site concrete was utilized as the panel matrix owing to its lightweight and insulation characteristics. The ultimate load bearing capacity, load-deformation and load-strain relationships, and failure modes were discussed and investigated in comparison with the findings of non-linear finite-element-model (FEM) analysis and the analytic method on the basis of the reinforced concrete (RC) theory. The analysis results indicate that TRCCP is suitable for use as a potential structural member for a wall or slab system of buildings, and the typical RC theory can be applied to predict the ultimate load bearing capacity if modified suitably.

This study aims to explore the failure modes and bearing capacity of the textile reinforced concrete composite panels (TRCCPs) subjected to axial and transverse load, which can provide reference for actual engineering application
The ultimate bearing capacity for axial compression is referenced [34], TRCCP that is highly similar to the traditional RC slab in possess of the RC webs, similar to steel bars, glass-fiber-reinforced plastic (GFRP) can withstand higher tensile stress and can have higher adhesion to concrete, fortifies the cooperation between the two face plates and attains full composite in structure formation
Summary
List of NomenclatureRC reinforced concreteVarious types of reinforced concrete (RC) members have been widely used in civil engineering for several decades. Deterioration of the concrete structure leads to corrosion of the rebar and of the structural durability and safety. The use of fiber reinforced concrete (FRC), which has short and discrete fibers distributed uniformly and oriented randomly, can considerably enhance the performance of concrete in multiple aspects, such as in terms of the tensile strength, crack resistance, ductility and toughness. FRC cannot completely replace the traditional RC due to its insufficient bearing capacity and economic factors. Textile reinforced concrete (TRC), which was developed in the late 20th century and is based on the fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) textile technique, can solve the abovementioned problems partly because of its excellent corrosion resistance and high strength performance. TRC can be divided into three categories depending on the components and applications: (a) the existing element reinforcement
