Textile-reinforced concrete (TRC) as a novel high-performance composite material can be used as a strengthening material and component bearing load alone. The flexural performance of TRC beams strengthened with textile reinforcement such as carbon tows was experimentally examined and associated with those of steel-reinforced concrete (SRC) beams. Through four-point bending tests, this research explores the effects of textile layers and dosages of short textile fibre on the flexural strength of concrete beams. A total of 64 prism samples of size 100 mm × 100 mm × 500 mm were made, flexure-strengthened, and tested to evaluate various characteristics and the efficiency of TRC versus SRC beams. TRC beams performed exceptionally well as supporting material in enhancing concrete’s flexural capacity; in addition, TRC’s average ultimate load effectiveness was up to 56% than that of SRC specimens. Furthermore, the maximum deflection was about 37% lesser than SRC beams. The results showed that by increasing the number of layers, the TRC’s effectiveness was significantly increased, and the failure mode became more ductile.

The study deals with the effect of using Slurry infiltrated fiber concrete (SIFCON) with the reinforced concrete beams to explore its enhancement to the flexural capacity. The experimental work consists of the casting of six beams, two beams were fully cast by conventional concrete (CC) and SIFCON, as references. While the remaining was made by contributing a layer of SIFCON diverse in-depth and position, towards complete the overall depths of the built-up beam with conventional concrete CC. Also, an investigation was done through the control specimens testing about the mechanical properties of SIFCON. The results showed a stiffer behavior with a significant increase in load-carrying capacity when SIFCON used in tension zones. Otherwise high ductility and energy dissipation appeared when SIFCON placed in compression zones with a slight increment in ultimate load. The high volumetric ratio of steel fibers enabled SIFCON to magnificent tensile properties.

Normal Strength

In this research, the flexural and shear behavior of five locally developed ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete beams was experimentally investigated. Four-point loading tests were carried out on concrete specimens which were further compared with five normal-strength concrete beams constructed at the laboratory. The objective of this study is to assess the flexural and shear behavior of ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete beams and compare them with that of normal-strength beams and available equations in the literature. Results indicate underestimation of shear (up to 2.71 times) and moment capacities (minimum 1.27 times, maximum 3.55 times) by most of the equations in beams with low-reinforcement ratios. Finally, results reveal that the experimental flexural and shear capacities of ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete specimens are up to 3.5 times greater than their normal-strength counterpart specimens.
