3D biaxial textile reinforcement

Textile in concrete has a great future. The most significant advantages of textile reinforced concrete are its significantly lower net weight and the ability to manufacture essentially thinner construction elements.

The company V. Fraas Solutions in Textile GmbH has developed an innovative textile reinforcement in its 3D textile Sitgrid which is based on a new type of knitting process. The special advantage for the manufacturing of precast concrete elements is evident in the reduction of steps in the process of casting the concrete and applying the textile reinforcement. In comparison to 2D textile reinforcement in multiple layers a more exact spacing of the two non-compressible joined layers of the 3D textiles can be achieved.
