This article is focused on state of knowledge about experimental testing of uniaxial tension strength of specimens from cement-based composites. We searched for various types of experimental testing of tensile strength, shapes of specimens or type of reinforcement. There is our own experimental program at the end of this article. Our aim is to find the best way to test steel fibre reinforced cement matrix for textile reinforced concrete in oneaxial tension. Textile reinforced concrete has many advantages (e.g.: no covering layer, higher ductility) and may be used instead of common steel reinforced concrete or as a method to repair old structures (e.g.: to bind columns).

This article deals with experimental testing of the textile reinforced concrete samples. The main topic of this article is determination ultimate tensile strength of the textile reinforced concrete. The testing samples were in form “dogbone” for good fixing in testing machine. There are 12 samples totally in experimental program. One type cement matrix and three types (difference in their weight 125 g/m2, 275 g/m2 and 500 g/m2) glass textile reinforcement were used for the production of samples. The textile reinforcement is made of alkali-resistant glass fibres. Three samples were made of cement matrix and nine samples were made of cement matrix reinforced textile reinforcement (three of each type of reinforcement). The samples were tested in special attachment in one-axial tensile. Experimental tests were controlled by speed of rate of deformation (0.0005 m/min). The textile reinforcement has very good influence to behaviour of the textile reinforced concrete in tensile stress.

Presented contribution deals with using textile reinforced concrete containing newly invented high strength cement matrix for strengthening concrete structures. The issue of old concrete ́s surface interaction with newly applied slim layer of textile reinforced concrete is investigated and verified by bending test. Water to binder ration under 0.3, maximum size of used silica sand 1.2 mm, and compressive strength over 100 MPa characterize used fine grain cement matrix. Over 12 months old beams with dimension 100 x 100 x 400 mm made from ordinary concrete were used for strengthening during performed experimental program. Strengthening took place on bending side. Different number (1, 3 and 5) of textile fabrics made from alkali-resistant glass (surface density 275 g/m2) was applied into slim layer of cement composite. Increasing number of used fabrics leads to different failure mode due shearing force action.

This article deals with the long-term durability of a relatively new composite – textile reinforced concrete (TRC). The studied composite material introduces a modern and favourite solution in contemporary architecture and structural engineering. It could also be used in renovation and monument restoration due to its high utility properties. The experimental program was focused on the determination of the resistance of the TRC in an aggressive environment using durability accelerated tests. The high performance concrete (HPC), which we used in our study, exhibited a compressive strength exceeding 100MPa after 28 days. Specimens were subjected to a 10% solution of H2SO4, 10% solution of NaOH, and freeze-thaw cycling respectively. All these environments can occur in real conditions in the TRC practical utilization. The testing was carried out on “dog-bone” shaped specimens, specially designed for the tensile strength measurement. Studied TRC specimens were reinforced by textiles of three different square weight that were applied in one or two layers, which led to the expected increase of tensile strength The freeze-thaw cycling had the biggest influence on the tensile properties, because it causes micro-cracks formation. The specimens exposed to the chemically aggressive environment deteriorated mostly on the surface, because of the high density of the concrete and generally low penetration of the media used. The resistance of the studied TRC to the aggressive environment increased with the applied reinforcement rate. The performed experimental programme highlighted the necessity of including the durability properties in the design of structural elements.

This contribution deals with interesting and progressive curing method applied to fresh concrete matrix for textile reinforced concrete production. The application of high pressure 0.3 MPa and temperature 130 °C in 100 % humidity environment for 4 hours was performed. Cement matrix and steel fibers reinforced cement matrix has been investigated. The goal of this research is to quantified compressive strength, flexure strength, bulk density and dynamic modulus of elasticity of both mixtures. These parameters were investigated after hydrothermal curing process at the ages 6, 12, 15, 18, 21 and 24 hour after first contact of water with cement. All parameters were investigated on specimens 40 x 40 x 160 mm3 and the destructive tests were controlled by increase of deformation. Special curing condition led to an increase of the compressive strength by more than 10 % in case of cement matrix, and by more than 40 % in case of fiber reinforced cement matrix.

Textile-reinforced concrete (TRC) is a material consisting of high-performance concrete (HPC) and tensile reinforcement comprised of carbon roving with epoxy resin matrix. However, the problem of low epoxy resin resistance at higher temperatures persists. In this work, an alternative to the epoxy resin matrix, a non-combustible cement suspension (cement milk) which has proven stability at elevated temperatures, was evaluated. In the first part of the work, microscopic research was carried out to determine the distribution of particle sizes in the cement suspension. Subsequently, five series of plate samples differing in the type of cement and the method of textile reinforcement saturation were designed and prepared. Mechanical experiments (four-point bending tests) were carried out to verify the properties of each sample type. It was found that the highest efficiency of carbon roving saturation was achieved by using finer ground cement (CEM 52.5) and the pressure saturation method. Moreover, this solution also exhibited the best results in the four-point bending test. Finally, the use of CEM 52.5 in the cement matrix appears to be a feasible variant for TRC constructions that could overcome problems with its low temperature resistance.

Aims: The aim of this paper is to investigate the influence of the volume fraction of fibres, the depth of the beam and the shear span-to-depth ratio on the shear strength of steel fibre reinforced concrete beams. Background: Concrete is a material widely used in structures, as it has high compressive strength and stiffness with low cost manufacturing. However, it presents low tensile strength and ductility. Therefore, through years various materials have been embedded inside it to improve its properties, one of which is steel fibres. Steel fibre reinforced concrete presents improved flexural, tensile, shear and torsional strength and post-cracking ductility. Objective: A better understanding of the shear performance of SFRC could lead to improved behaviour and higher safety of structures subject to high shear forces. Therefore, the influence of steel fibres on shear strength of reinforced concrete beams without transverse reinforcement is experimentally investigated. Methods: Eighteen concrete beams were constructed for this purpose and tested under monotonic four-point bending, six of which were made of plain concrete and twelve of SFRC. Two different aspect ratios of beams, steel fibres volume fractions and shear span-to-depth ratios were selected. Results: During the experimental tests, the ultimate loading, deformation at the mid-span, propagation of cracks and failure mode were detected. From the tests, it was shown that SFRC beams with high volume fractions of fibres exhibited an increased shear capacity. Conclusion: The addition of steel fibres resulted in a slight increase of the compressive strength and a significant increase in the tensile strength of concrete and shear resistance capacity of the beam. Moreover, these beams exhibit a more ductile behaviour. Empirical relations predicting the shear strength capacity of fibre reinforced concrete beams were revised and applied successfully to verify the experimental results obtained in this study.
