This special issue presents the latest advances in the field of Textile-Reinforced Cement Composites, including Textile-Reinforced Concrete (TRC), Textile-Reinforced Mortar (TRM), Fabric-Reinforced Cementitious Matrix (FRCM), etc. These composite materials distinguish themselves from other fibre reinforced concrete materials by their strain-hardening behaviour under tensile loading. This Special Issue is composed of 14 papers covering new insights in structural and material engineering. The papers include investigations on the level of the fibre reinforcement system as well as on the level of the composites, investigating their impact and fatigue behaviour, durability and fire behaviour. Both strengthening of existing structures and development of new structural systems such as lightweight sandwich systems are presented, and analysis and design methods are discussed. This Special Issue demonstrates the broadness and intensity of the ongoing advancements in the field of Textile-Reinforced Cement composites and the importance of several future research directions.

Performance of cracked fibre metal laminate (Glare) under fatigue load differs from that of cracked plain aerospace aluminum alloy. Load transfer towards stronger fibres in Glare shields crack tips in aluminum layers that retards fatigue crack growth rates. The paper experimentally investigates the fatigue behaviour of Glare at variable stress ratio’s in an ambient environment for comparison with that of plain aerospace aluminum alloy.
