Modular textile reinforced concrete (TRC) shell structures Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Curved thin-walled shell structures are very promising towards the future, as they possess the ability to carry their loads efficiently, resulting in very thin designs and therefore a reduced material consumption. Recent developments of new construction materials and innovative fabrication techniques have led to a resurgence in this research domain. Using Textile Reinforced Concrete (TRC) in the shell designs significantly reduces the required ...
