3D high-performance grids for textile-reinforced concrete

Textil reinforced concrete, reinforced with grid structures made of AR glass or carbon, is a new, innovative composite material. Resistance to corrosion together with high strength is the great advantage of the material. This allows for the positioning near the surface, thus the production of particularly thin and lightweight precast concrete elements or reinforcements.

Three-dimensional textile reinforcements for concrete are 3D biaxial spacer fabrics consisting of two biaxial grids of alkali-resistant AR glass or carbon which are rigidly connected with each other by pile threads. The...
