“…After hardening of the concrete, the stay-in-place formwork gets an additional structural function and acts as a (partial) tensile reinforcement of the final concrete structure. The structural capacity of stay-in-place formwork in textile reinforced concrete (TRC) was already demonstrated for beam elements in Brameshuber et al (2004), Papantoniou and Papanicolaou (2008), Papanicolaou and Papantoniou (2010) and at our university for the used composite GFTR-IPC in Verbruggen et al (2013) and De Sutter et al (2014). Both materials show similar results as stay-in-place formwork because the material properties are also very similar.…”

This article presents the structural evaluation of textile reinforced cement composite elements as formwork and reinforcement for concrete shells. Different shell geometries of 10 m span and a height between 2.5 and 5 m are examined. On one hand, the minimum thickness of the composite element functioning as formwork for these shells is determined when supported with a different number of supports and for different concrete sections. On the other hand, the minimum thickness of the composite functioning as reinforcement is calculated to withstand the occurring maximum bending moment. For shells with a 10 to 15 mm concrete section, a minimum composite formwork of 5-6 mm is needed to carry the load of the cast concrete, while the minimum composite reinforcement needed to withstand the maximum occurring bending moment equals 2-3 mm. Conclusively, this preliminary numerical study demonstrates the structural potential of textile reinforced cement composite stay-in-place formwork for concrete shells and indicates the dominance of the casting stage over the final stage. More specifically, local buckling of the formwork is the determining factor and should drive future work towards this issue.

“…By utilizing these advantages of the TRC panel, it is possible to provide the formwork function for construction of reinforced concrete structure and also to improve the seismic performance of the structural member. In the past studies, the development of stay-in-place formwork using TRC has been conducted around horizontal members such as slabs and beams [4,5,6,7]. Recently, experimental works on the performance of TRC stay-in-place formwork applied for a vertical member such as columns [8,9] and an asymmetric shell structure [10] have also been performed.…”

Recent earthquakes at Pohang in Korea have caused significant damages to existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Particularly, piloti columns of RC structures suffered considerable damages. The objective of this research is to review the feasibility of an innovative stay-in-place formwork method using the Textile Reinforced Concrete (TRC) for RC columns in order to improve seismic performance and reliability. The scope of the study includes 1) a development of a concept for TRC stay-in-place form for RC columns, and 2) designing and manufacturing of TRC form modules. It is expected that structural damage of the property, human injuries or loss of life caused by future earthquakes can be reduced by improving the seismic performance using TRC sitein-place participating form, which can also save the social cost for the recovery from the disaster.
