3D fibre textiles as reinforcement for lightweight concrete structures Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Concrete reinforced with fibre textiles has wide and versatile potential applications in architecture thanks to its freeform shapes and slender design possibilities, e.g. ultrathin freeform concrete shells, insulating sandwich panels, structural formwork for complex concrete construction, etc. Their application in practice is however hampered by their slow hand lay-up manufacturing process, which does not correspond to the traditional ...
