Bearing Behavior

In the context of the application of carbon Textile Reinforced Concrete (TRC) layers for the durable repair of building surfaces, uniaxial tensile tests on rectangular TRC samples were carried out to compare the bond and load-bearing behavior of an epoxy-impregnated carbon textile and its surface modified version. The aim of the surface modification, consisting of a subsequent coating with epoxy resin and sanding with quartz sand, is the improvement of the composite material regarding crack width reduction and an increase of the load-bearing capacity. A total of 15 series were examined and the parameters: reinforcement type, orientation and ratio were varied. In addition, long-term load tests were conducted. An optical 3D-video measuring system in combination with a DIC-software was used, which allowed the analysis of the process of crack formation during the entire testing time. With the surface modified reinforcement the formation of approx. 1.5 times the number of cracks with averagely 33 % smaller crack widths and up to 50 % smaller crack spacings were observed, regardless of the ratio of reinforcement. The residual behaviour of the series subjected to a permanent load of 1500 MPa over 1000 h showed no reduction of the tensile stress compared to short-term tests.

Bearing Behavior

In the last 30 years, façade-panels made of steel-reinforced concrete have become less attractive for architects and clients. Due to the metallic reinforcement, the insufficient concrete covers of former design code generations and hence the material-dependent corrosion, many cases of damage occurred. Using technical textiles for a new composite material, Textile Reinforced Concrete (TRC), it is possible to produce concrete structures which are not vulnerable to corrosion. The presented ventilated large-sized façade elements and self-supporting sandwich panels exemplify the capability of TRC. In the paper, applied materials are characterized and the production process of tailor-made textile reinforcements as well as the load-bearing behavior of the members is described.

Der Trend in der heutigen Bauwirtschaft zeigt einen wachsenden Bedarf an hochleistungsfähigen Materialien mit hohen Zug- und Druckfestigkeiten. Ein innovatives Baumaterial, das die Wünsche der Architekten und Tragwerksplaner befriedigt, ist der Textilbeton (Textile-Reinforced-Concrete (TRC)). Die Kombination aus hochfestem Beton und der korrosionsbeständigen Bewehrung, die gleichzeitig mit einer hohen Zugfestigkeit überzeugt, ermöglicht extrem schlanke Bauteile. Die bereits realisierten Textilbeton-Anwendungen bekräftigen die Anwendbarkeit des neuen Verbundwerkstoffes. Die weitere Entwicklung der textilen Bewehrung erweitert die Möglichkeiten für tragende Bauteile. Ein wichtiger Schritt war die Imprägnierung der Textilien mit Styrol-Butadien und Epoxidharz. Die Tränkung ermöglicht einen hohen Zuwachs der Zugfestigkeiten. Zusätzlich wird die Dauerhaftigkeit, Handhabung und Temperaturstabilität der Bewehrung erhöht. Folglich steigen die Effektivität und die Wirtschaftlichkeit der texilbewehrten Bauteile.   Der Beitrag stellt das Biegetragverhalten von Platten sowie Doppel-T Balken vor, die mit getränkten Textilien bewehrt wurden. Des Weiteren wird ein Bemessungsmodell für das Biegetragverhalten vorgestellt.

The Matrix

This paper deals with flexural strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) slabs with a carbon textile reinforced concrete (TRC) system. The surface coating treatment was applied to a carbon grid-type textile to increase the bond strength. Short fibers were incorporated into the matrix to mitigate the formation of shrinkage-induced cracks. The tensile properties of the TRC system were evaluated by a direct tensile test with a dumbbell-type grip method. The tensile test results indicated that the effect of the surface coating treatment of the textile on the bonding behavior of the textile within the TRC system was significant. Furthermore, the incorporation of short fibers in the matrix was effective to mitigate shrinkage-induced crack formation and to improve the tensile properties of the TRC system. Six full-scale slab specimens were strengthened with the TRC system and, subsequently, failure tested. The ultimate load-carrying capacity of the strengthened slabs was compared with that of an unstrengthened slab as well as the theoretical solutions. The failure test results indicated that the stiffness and the ultimate flexural capacity of the strengthened slab were at least 112% and 165% greater, respectively, than that of the unstrengthened slab. The test results further indicated that the strengthening effect was not linearly proportional to the amount of textile reinforcement.

This article proposes a new type of discrete connected precast reinforced concrete diaphragm floor system that consists of precast flat slabs and slab joint connectors. An experimental investigation of discrete connected new-type precast reinforced concrete diaphragm under a vertical distributed static load was conducted, and the effect of slab joint connectors on the load-bearing capacity was evaluated. Then, a finite element analysis of discrete connected new-type precast reinforced concrete diaphragm, precast reinforced concrete floors without slab connectors, and cast-in-situ reinforced concrete floor were performed to understand their working mechanism and determine the differences in load-bearing behavior. The results indicate that the load-bearing capacity and stiffness of discrete connected new-type precast reinforced concrete diaphragm increase considerably as the hairpin and cover plate hybrid slab joint connectors can efficiently connect adjacent precast slabs and enable them to work together under a vertical load by transmitting the shear and moment forces in the orthogonal slab laying direction. The deflection of discrete connected new-type precast reinforced concrete diaphragm in orthogonal slab laying direction is mainly caused by the opening deformation of the slab joint and the rotational deformation of the precast slabs. This flexural deformation feature can provide reference for establishing the bending stiffness analytical model of discrete connected new-type precast reinforced concrete diaphragm in orthogonal slab laying direction, which is vitally important for foundation of the vertical bearing capacity and deformation calculation method. The deflection and crack distribution patterns infer that the discrete connected new-type precast reinforced concrete diaphragm processes the deformation characteristic of two-way slab floor, which can provide a basis for the theoretical analysis of discrete connected new-type precast reinforced concrete diaphragm.

Textile Reinforced Concrete (TRC) is a prefabricated novel lightweight high-performance composite material that can be used as a load-bearing or non-load-bearing component of prefabricated buildings. Making TRC with Ultra-High-Strength Concrete (UHSC) (≥100 MPa) can be considered as a potential improvement method to further enhance its properties. This paper investigated the performance of Ultra-High-Strength Textile Reinforced Concrete (UHSTRC) under flexural loading. A detailed experimental program was conducted to investigate the behavior of UHSC on TRC. In the experimental program, a sudden drop in load was observed when the first crack appeared in the UHSTRC. A detailed analytical program was developed to describe and understand such behavior of UHSTRC found in experiments. The analytical program was found to be in good agreement with the experimental results and it was used to carry out an extensive parametric study covering the effects of the number of textile layers, textile material, textile mesh density, and UHSTRC thickness on the performance of UHSTRC. Using a high number of textile layers in thin UHSTRC was found to be more effective than using high-thickness UHSTRC. The high modulus textile layers effectively increase the performance of UHSTRC.

Abstract The 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.
