Material-efficient building requires construction designs that do justice to the special properties of the construction materials. This applies in particular to the innovative material of textile reinforced concrete, which requires an interplay between the requirements of the material and the construction design and vice versa. Furthermore, advanced concrete production methods, such as additive manufacturing or concrete folding, require novel, adapted textile reinforcements. Within this paper, the authors present the potential of two approaches for the production of such textile reinforcements: tessellated textiles and branched 3D textiles. Tessellated textiles are produced from flat textiles by realizing a periodic deformation orthogonal to the textile plane, similar to corrugated cardboard. Branched 3D textiles are produced using two industrial robots working in close concert to produce a biomimetic textile reinforcement that can support itself immediately after manufacturing. The study discusses the respective production mechanisms as well as potential reinforcement geometries and component designs. Initial analysis suggests that the use of tessellated or 3D branched textile reinforcements makes it possible to realize a load path compatible and material-minimized reinforcement geometries. Tessellated structures promise the realization of large-area load-bearing elements, while 3D branched textiles are suitable for branched elements with high vertical expansion. What both approaches have in common is that if the processes are successfully implemented on an industrial scale, they enable the production of reinforced concrete elements that are impossible to produce using current methods.
