Bending Load-Bearing Behaviour of Concrete Components Reinforced with Impregnated Flax Fibre Textiles
Natural fibres – as flax fibres – are green, economical, and present satisfactory mechanical properties to be used as reinforcement in concrete members. The full sustainability benefits only apply to impregnated fibres when using bio-based or biodegradable resins. Despite the numerous studies on the load-bearing behaviour of concrete members reinforced with textiles (especially, made of synthetic fibres), the design of textiles made of natural fibres – and particularly, flax fibres – still lack robust load-bearing models or design guidelines or provisions. Thus, based on experimental investigations, the bending load-bearing behaviour of concrete components reinforced with impregnated flax fibre textiles are investigated in this paper. To this, a total of 32 tests on multi-layered reinforced (impregnated gauze weave) members were produced and tested in four-point-bending tests while varying specific textile parameters, such as the fineness and spacings of the weft threads or the number of textile layers. The results showed that an increase of the failure load was achieved compared to test specimens without, or even with less, reinforcement. The stress-strain-diagrams could be divided into three areas – State I, State IIa and State IIb – also found in previous tensile tests. The ultimate stresses attained in these tests are comparable to the stresses reached by conventional reinforcements, as reinforcing steel. Also, a finely distributed crack pattern with multiple cracks was observed. These results seem to support the potential of flax fibre textiles as a reinforcement for concrete members bearing uniaxial bending loads and provides means for the development new design models or provisions.
