In the building sector, concrete reinforcement has become a new field of application for lattice-like, warp-knit textiles made of alkali-resistant glass (AR). Completed research projects have led to fundamental findings in terms of compound behaviour and properties achievable in thin, textile-reinforced slabs (e.g. high tensile bending strength and ductility, better crack distribution). The results obtained allow to carry out developments, which focus on specific building elements. Adding terraces (balconies, loggias) to flats in old buildings or the refurbishment of existing ones can be implemented at reasonable cost by means of light-weight steel structures with concrete flooring slabs. Their execution in reinforced concrete results in unacceptable thickness and weight of the building elements due to the necessary covering of the reinforcing steel. The aim is to create the fundamentals for employing a thin, covered concrete panel with textile reinforcement on the basis of warp-knit AR glass fabrics with integrated glass-fibre reinforced plastic bars (GFK) or glass-fibre bunches to be used as balcony flooring slab. Studies shall be carried out covering the manufacture and optimisation of reinforcing structures as well as production methods of the concrete elements (concrete formulation, shaping and compaction techniques) and, furthermore, their load-bearing behaviour (optimisation of the reinforcing structure and of the geometry of the concrete element) so that a conception for their dimensioning can be arrived at. These works were implemented within the framework of a combined project promoted by the Textil e.V. Research Board with the participation of Sächsisches Textilforschungsinstitut e.V. Chemnitz (which developed the textile reinforcement), and of the Dresden Technical University, Institute for Supporting Structures and Building Materials (which carried out the concrete engineering tests). The basis for the development of the new textile reinforcing structure is a technique for manufacturing warp-knit fabrics with integrated bars or bunches. For the manufacture of a triaxial reinforcement lattice, a Model 14016 b/T special-type warp- knitting machine, gauge F5, with a 1500 mm working width was employed. For practical use, the length and width of the balcony flooring slab could be 3.00m and 1.80m respectively, with efforts being made to attain a thickness of 6 cm. For representing the test results, the parameters deflection at live load (2.7 kN), deflection at point load (1 kN) as well as rupture load and the corresponding deflection have been chosen. The live loads of the test specimens having integrated reinforcement bars (E1 to E4) exceed the live load level several times. This means that there are considerable reserves in terms of load-bearing capacity. The critical assessment criterion was the limited deflection, which was to be expected when taking into account the slenderness of the construction.
