A Contribution to the Design of Textile Reinforced Concrete Structures

Patrick Lorenzo Valeri

The reduction of green-house gas emissions is one of the global challenges that our society is facing and the production of cement plays a major role because concrete is the most used material worldwide. For every 1000 kg of cement produced, 900 kg of CO2, ...

Textile reinforced concrete for sustainable structures: Future perspectives and application to a prototype pavilion

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Patricia Guaita, Raffael Baur, Patrick Lorenzo Valeri

Textile reinforced concrete (TRC) is a cementitious‐based material where reinforcement consists of high‐strength noncorrosive textile fabrics. Due to the use of a noncorrosive reinforcement, cover requirements can be limited to minimum static values and th ...

Structural condition assessment of reinforced-concrete bridges based on acoustic emission and strain measurements

Eugen Brühwiler, Imane Bayane

A reliable novel monitoring approach is developed to assess the structural condition of reinforced-concrete bridge elements. The approach is based on combining acoustic emission technique and strain gauge measurements, and it is illustrated by a case study ...

Tensile response of textile reinforced concrete

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Patrick Lorenzo Valeri

Textile Reinforced Concrete (TRC) is a cementitious composite material where a carbon or glass fabric is embedded as reinforcement. The use of TRC allows building thin and light structures, with reduced concrete covers and an enhanced durability due to the ...

Seismic performance of slender RC U-shaped walls with a single-layer of reinforcement

Katrin Beyer, João Saraiva Esteves Pacheco de Almeida

Reinforced concrete walls are commonly used to resist the lateral loading induced by wind and earthquake actions. While most walls include two vertical reinforcement layers, some regions of the world construct slender, non-rectangular concrete walls with a ...

New perspectives for design of lightweight structures by using textile reinforced concrete

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Patrick Lorenzo Valeri

Nowadays, reinforced concrete (RC) is one of the most widely spread construction materials: allowing to build robust and durable structures. Traditionally, due to cover requirements of the reinforcement and to casting and vibration needs, it has yet been a ...

Building Duration / El Portico de los Huespedes

Patricia Guaita, Raffael Baur

El Portico de los Huéspedes is a pedagogical, design-research project that tests the possibility of an open-ended architecture, where duration links between past and future. It is a work of architecture as becoming: ‘work’ meaning the structure, rhythms an ...

The potential of textile reinforced concrete for design of innovative structures

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Patricia Guaita, Raffael Baur, Patrick Lorenzo Valeri

Textile Reinforced Concrete (TRC) is a recent evolution of ordinary reinforced concrete. This relatively new construction material replaces steel reinforcement with high-strength, non-corrosive textile fabrics in order to reduce cover requirements to minim ...

Quantiﬁcation of traﬃc and temperature eﬀects on the fatigue safety of a reinforced-concrete bridge deck based on monitoring data

Eugen Brühwiler, Imane Bayane, Amol Mankar

For assessment of existing reinforced-concrete bridges, only few rules and recommendations are available, and engineers meanwhile apply design codes for new bridges to evaluate the fatigue safety of existing bridges leading to non-realistic approaches and ...
