“…TRC beams have 56% higher moment capacity and 7 times higher tension stiffening than SRC beams. Given these observations, TRC beams behave differently from SRC beams [11]. Due to its mechanical properties, light weight, energy absorption, and extremely high strength under impact loads, TRF concrete is being used in many sectors.…”

Textile-reinforced concrete (TRC) is a variant of reinforced concrete in which textiles are used in place of steel reinforcing bars. Reinforcing the concrete with steel means increasing its tensile strength, but steel also corrodes and wears out over time. The TRC is a novel idea that has the potential to overcome these drawbacks. TRC is a composite reinforcing material that is made from cement and has the benefits of being resistant to corrosion, having a high bearing capacity, and performing well in terms of its fracture limit. The principal function of TRC in buildings has been as reinforcement and as a means of enhancing the ductility and performance of concrete. This experimental work utilizes a 145 gsm (grams squared per meter) alkali-resistant (AR) glass fiber textile mesh. Specimens were cast with and without fibers, and the number of layers was increased from 1 to 3 at 25 mm spacing. In this experimental work, the mechanical behavior of TRC was investigated by conducting tests on its impact, compressive, and flexural strengths. From these results, the TRC specimen exhibits more flexibility than the control specimen. The TRC specimen bends under force and returns to a new position when the load is removed, indicating a good energy absorption capability. As a result, it infers that the specimen with fibrehave the capacity to withstand a higher maximum load than conventional specimens. TRC has a greater fracture control system compared to conventional steel-reinforced concrete.

“…In recent studies, concrete beams made with textile reinforcement are compared with the conventional steel reinforced concrete beam. Alrshoudi (2021) observed that TRC beams with carbon textile reinforcement have a 56% higher moment capacity than steel reinforced concrete beams. In another study, You et al (2020) found that TRC showed improved flexural behavior and better-distributed crack patterns than conventional steel reinforced concrete specimens.…”

“…With the growing interest in cost-effective structural solutions, studies to find steel reinforcement’s alternatives show the immense possibility for the future. Different types of fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) and textile reinforced concrete (TRC) specimens are generally investigated for this purpose (Alrshoudi, 2021; Du et al, 2018; Ravikumar et al, 2015; Volkova et al, 2016). Three-point or four-point bending tests are conducted to determine the flexural strength and evaluate the mechanical behavior and performance of the specimens (Colombo et al, 2015; Siddika et al, 2019).…”

Steel is susceptible to corrosion and requires a significant concrete cover, which increases self-weight and cost. Therefore, an alternative to traditional reinforcements is needed. Textile reinforced concrete (TRC) is a favorable composite using textile material as reinforcement with a fine-grained concrete matrix. This study represents a comparison between different TRCs having different textile reinforcements subjected to flexural bending and impact loading. Four types of textiles—glass (GT), a square oriented galvanized iron (SGIT), diagonal pattern galvanized iron (DGIT), and carbon (CT) are used. All four types of textiles are used to prepare 400 x 50 x12 mm textile reinforced mortar (TRM) and tested for tensile strength properties. This study tests TRC panel and plate samples by three-point bending and drop-weight impact methods. The uniaxial tensile strength test of the textiles shows that CTs can take around 2.3 times higher tensile load than SGITs. However, their tensile load capacity is almost similar in the case of TRM, where SGIT textile shows about 30% higher extension. The flexural bending test of the TRC panels shows that the load-carrying ability increases nearly two times with the increase of 25 mm in thickness even when the number of reinforcement layers remains the same. With the increase in thickness, SGIT textile shows better performance. Drop-weight impact test of the TRC plates shows that the impact energy absorption in CT textile plates is up to two times higher than SGIT plates for various thicknesses. This study summarizes that CT shows overall better performance than SGIT.

“…The researchers observed that increasing the diameter of steel springs led to increased shear resistance due to enhanced confinement provided by larger springs. Similarly, a study by Alrshoudi [5] focused on the influence of spring length on the flexural strength of reinforced concrete beams. The team evaluated beams with different spring lengths and discovered that longer springs resulted in greater flexural strength due to improved reinforcing efficacy across a broader span.…”

In this research study, the possibility of deployment of steel spring utilization to reinforce a concrete beam is investigated and compared with steel bars; this is done to enhance the flexural strength of the structural concrete beam. For this purpose, three specimens are prepared: a plain concrete beam, a reinforced concrete beam, and a spring-reinforced concrete beam. A point bending test is dedicated to calculating the failure strength of each specimen. ABAQUS program is being used to simulate the three test specimens with the same properties as the experimental test samples to verify the results. The results of the numerical simulations for the flexural stress and the plastic strain of each model are collected and compared with the experimental tests. The results manifested a particularly good verification for the experimental tests, and the spring-reinforced concrete beam displayed an excellent flexural strength that exceeded the flexural strength of the reinforced concrete beam. This indicates that the spring-reinforced concrete beam, according to the properties of the spring, is a promising endeavor for use in the construction industry.
