Damage progress assessment on textile reinforced cement retrofit patches attached to traditional masonry using acoustic emission Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Monitoring the failure mechanisms of a reinforced concrete beam strengthened by textile reinforced cement using acoustic emission and digital image correlation Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Bending fracture of textile reinforced cement laminates monitored by acoustic emission: influence of aspect ratio Vrije Universiteit Brussel University of Antwerp
with superior tensile strength and ductility. These materials have the potential for becoming load bearing
structural members, therefore a wide array of structural and non-structural applications are possible.
However, their heterogeneous, laminated, ?brous nature complicates the understanding of their fracture

Structural stay-in-place formwork in textile reinforced cement composites for very slender concrete columns Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Buckling behaviour of structural insulating sandwich walls with textile reinforced cement faces Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Loadbearing insulating sandwich panels with Textile Reinforced Cement (TRC) faces can combine the structural and insulating performance of a conventional wall configuration in one lightweight element. This makes them very suitable as a new type of wall element for low- and high rise residential buildings. By combining 2D and 3D textiles in the TRC faces the performance of the panels can even be improved. This paper presents a preliminary ...
Effect of propagation distance on acoustic emission fracture mode classification in textile reinforced cement Vrije Universiteit Brussel University of Antwerp
Textile reinforced cement (TRC) is a composite material being increasingly used for load bearing applications. Damage in TRC as in all cementitious materials is an important issue in civil engineering. Acoustic emission (AE) exhibits promising outcomes in laboratory and in in-situ monitoring applications. Evaluation of the fracture mode is crucial as generally, shearing phenomena occur later than tensile (bending) cracking and indicate more ...
