Enhancing Textile-Reinforced Concrete Sustainability and Economic Efficiency with Innovative Cement Composites
Significant attention has been garnered to Textile Reinforced Concrete (TRC), a novel composite material comprising a cement-based matrix with high-performance textiles, due to its exceptional mechanical and durability properties. In response to environmental and economic challenges in constructions, this study focuses on enhancing the sustainability and economic efficiency of TRCs through development of innovative low carbon, low-cost concrete matrices utilizing composite cements. Ternary and quaternary blended cement mixes, incorporating Portland cement, ground granulated blast furnace slag, limestone, and/or silica fume, with 65% to 70% cement replacement levels, were developed. The concrete mixes developed in this study achieved optimal workability and compressive strength, resulting not only significantly reduced costs but also lower equivalent CO₂ emissions compared to TRC mixes of an equivalent strength class documented in the existing literature. Furthermore, the investigation explored the flexural performance of TRC composites, incorporating the developed concrete mixes and Alkali resistant-glass textile, revealing valuable insights into the material's response to bending forces.
