Composition And Mechanical Performance Of Textile-reinforced Concrete: A Comprehensive Review

Authors : Salmi Malha . Bouzeboudja Fatma .

Abstract

Textile-reinforced concrete (TRC) is gaining recognition as an advanced construction material due to its excellent load-bearing capacity, resistance to corrosion, and long-term durability. However, the influence of different textile types and design parameters on TRC’s mechanical behavior remains not fully understood. This study aims to deepen the knowledge of TRC’s mechanical performance and to identify potential avenues for future research. The compressive, tensile, and flexural behaviors of TRC are analyzed through a review of existing literature. Results show that TRC performance strongly depends on textile characteristics such as shape, geometry, weaving pattern, and yarn properties. Under tensile and flexural loading, TRC generally exhibits three stages: an initial elastic phase, a strain-hardening phase with multiple cracking, and a softening phase leading to failure. The bond between textile and cementitious matrix is also examined using pull-out test results. Textile geometry and surface properties significantly influence the interfacial bond strength. This review summarizes current knowledge on TRC behavior and highlights its potential applications in civil engineering.
