A layered-wise, composite modelling approach for fibre textile reinforced cementitious composites Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Textile Reinforced Cements (TRCs) offer an adequate alternative to more conventional building systems in construction due to their tunable and lightweight geometries. TRCs are currently either modelled by means of a discrete approach, where the textiles and the matrix are modelled separately, or by means of a smeared approach that averages the material's mechanical response over the cross-section. The research presented in this paper proposes ...

A fundamental investigation of textile reinforced cementitious composites tensile response by Acoustic Emission Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The fracture processes on coupons of glass-fibre textile reinforced cementitious (TRC)matrix composites under tension are revealed using acoustic emission monitoring (AE)method. The fundamental study, based on acoustic signals magnitude, shape and frequency content, discloses the presence of early mortar micro-cracking and assesses the nature of multi-scale damage developed as the ultimate matrix strength is reached. At post-cracking stage, ...

TEXTILE REINFORCED CEMENT COMPOSITES FOR THE DESIGN OF VERY THIN SADDLE SHELLS: A CASE STUDY Vrije Universiteit Brussel
high fibre volume fractions creates a composite that has -besides its usual compressive strength - an
important tensile capacity. This cement composite is particularly suitable for strongly curved lightweight structures. These building applications do not only benefit from the cement composite's flexible reinforcement and high ...
