Abstract
One of the main interest which concerns substitution of FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer) such as carbon epoxy composite by TRC (Textile Reinforced Concrete) for rehabilitation of existing infrastructures is its thermal stability and fire behavior. The first part is devoted to the description of experimental methodology developed by Si Larbi et al. for tensile characterization of TRC and prediction of ultimate resistance for different levels of temperature (20–600 °C). In the second part, the structural behavior of short concrete columns loaded under axial compression and confined by TRC is considered. Taking into account the design method proposed by Hamelin et al., the strength increase is estimated for different conditions of fire stability. Finally, we conclude on the interest of TRC reinforcements for steel concrete structures particularly in the case of accidental loading conditions such as fire or blast considering thermo-mechanical stability, gas toxicity and smoke opaqueness.
