Abstract
The development of textile reinforced concrete (TRC), where multiaxial fabrics are used in combination with fine grained concrete, allows the design of very thin-structured concrete elements with a high strength in compression as well as tension. The mechanical and fracture mechanical characteristics of the newly developed fine grained binder systems as a main component of the composite have to be known to allow for a reliable dimensioning of TRC structures. In general, the serviceability of a concrete structure is defined by the loading capacity under tension and compression determined in short-term tests as well as the time-related deformations under sustained loads investigated in long-term tests.
