“…As shown in Figure 11 , it was possible to observe an increasing trend of the load curve in the A and B series after the formation of the first crack. This confirmed the similar trend of the particle size in the impregnation mixture, which was described on glass fibers in [ 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 ].…”

“…One possible variant is to use textile fibers as a reinforcement layer in the mortar, which improves the mechanical properties of masonry [ 24 ]. Other studies investigated the influence of the inorganic matrix materials on the mechanical properties if textile reinforcement while using materials such as SiO 2 , nano-silica, or micro-silica [ 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 ]. Simultaneously, cement suspensions and cement mixtures are also used.…”

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.

“…Therefore, structures reinforced by textile reinforcement with synthetic matrix attain lower ductility than traditional construction elements reinforced by steel reinforcement. An organic textile matrix can be substituted by inorganic materials like cement, cement suspensions, and mortars [ 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 ]. However, these materials do not achieve as excellent results as synthetic resins, primarily due to the non-homogeneity of penetration fluid.…”

Experimental Evaluation of Carbon Reinforced TRC with Cement Suspension Matrix at Elevated Temperature

et al. 2022

Textile-reinforced concrete (TRC) is a new composite material comprising high-performance concrete and textile reinforcement from textile yarns with a matrix, usually consisting of epoxy resins (ER). The most significant advantage of ER is the homogenization of all filaments in the yarn and full utilization of its tensile potential. Nevertheless, ER matrix is a critical part of TRC design from the perspective of the fire resistance due to its relatively low resistance at temperatures of approximately 120 ∘C. This work expands the previously performed mechanical tests at normal temperatures with cement suspension (CS) as a non-combustible material for the yarn matrix. Here, the mechanical properties of CS matrix at elevated temperatures were verified. It was found that the addition of polypropylene fibers into HPC negatively affected the mechanical results of CS matrix specimens. Simultaneously, thermal insulation effect of the covering layers with different thicknesses did not significantly influence the residual bending strength of specimens with CS matrix and achieved similar results as reference specimens. Furthermore, all specimens with ER matrix progressively collapsed. Finally, CS as a textile reinforcement of yarn matrix appears to be a suitable solution for increasing the temperature resistance of TRC structures and for substituting synthetic resins.

“…The weaving, the geometry, and the coating process influence the mechanical performance of the woven textiles [6,7], their suitability for the various applications, the sustainability of the different solutions, and the manufacturing costs. Moreover, the chemical nature of the coating [8][9][10][11][12] and the weaving characteristics [13][14][15] significantly affect the behavior of cementitious-based composites.…”

Alkali-resistant (AR) glass textiles are used as the main reinforcement in several composite applications due to their good performance-to-cost ratio. A huge variety of textiles are already present in the market; they differ on various parameters, such as, for example, the filaments’ diameters, the geometry, the type of weaving, or the nature of the impregnation coating. To orient manufacturers towards the production of efficient textiles, the most important aspect is the balance between cost and performance. In this paper, a series of different fabrics designed for textile-reinforced cementitious composites were considered. Performance was assessed by means of uniaxial tensile tests and the results are presented in terms of load vs. displacement. Then, the selected AR-glass textiles were compared in terms of fabric efficiency, targeting the effect of each parameter on the textile capacity. The research here presented is part of a comprehensive campaign aimed at the optimization of glass-fabric-reinforced cementitious composites for structural retrofitting. To better discuss the different solutions tested, at the end, only considering a small number of the investigated textiles, an efficiency evaluation was carried out at the cementitious composite level.
