Currently, millions of tons of textile waste from the garment and textile industries are generated worldwide each year. As a promising option in terms of sustainability, textile waste fibers could be used as internal reinforcement of cement-based composites by enhancing ductility and decreasing crack propagation. To this end, two extensive experimental programs were carried out, involving the use of either fractions of short random fibers at 6–10% by weight or nonwoven fabrics in 3–7 laminate layers in the textile waste-reinforcement of cement, and the mechanical and durability properties of the resulting composites were characterized. Flexural resistance in pre- and post-crack, toughness, and stiffness of the resulting composites were assessed in addition to unrestrained drying shrinkage testing. The results obtained from those programs were analyzed and compared to identify the optimal composite and potential applications. Based on the results of experimental analysis, the feasibility of using this textile waste composite as a potential construction material in nonstructural concrete structures such as facade cladding, raised floors, and pavements was confirmed. The optimal composite was proven to be the one reinforced with six layers of nonwoven fabric, with a flexural strength of 15.5 MPa and a toughness of 9.7 kJ/m2.

Specific Fracture

This paper deals about behavior of fiber reinforced cement composite in dependence on the casting direction. Almost fifty concrete prisms of size 400 x 100 x 100 mm were cast; half of these were fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) and the other half was ultra-high performance fiber reinforced concrete (UHPFRC). Approximately one half of both mixtures was cast in horizontal direction and the other half vertically. It was found that the specific fracture energy of horizontally cast prisms was approximately 4,5 times larger for both materials than the vertically cast ones. Ultimate loads of FRC were very similar for both casting directions. Peak loads of the horizontally cast UHPFRC prisms were approximately 3 times larger than the vertically cast ones. This research confirmed that there is significant influence of the casting direction on the fiber reinforced concrete characteristics.
