Understanding the influence of externally bonded TRC on the cracking behaviour of a plain concrete beam Vrije Universiteit Brussel
In the last decennia there is an increasing interest in the use of external reinforcement for concrete structures made of both Fibre Reinforced Polymers (FRP) and Textile Reinforced Cementitious composites (TRC). Especially for TRC, one of the main applications could be the crack control within the concrete substrate. Despite numerous studies in this field, the influence of an external TRC layer on the cracking behaviour of the concrete ...
