A wide range of textiles can significantly improve the mechanical behavior of cement matrices under static and dynamic conditions, and give superior tensile strength, toughness, ductility, energy absorption and protection. This book provides a comprehensive treatment of TRC, from the basics of the composite material to its structural performance.
1. Introduction 2. Textiles 3. Fabrication methods for TRC and manufacturing 4. Micro-mechanics and microstructure 5. Composite mechanical performance under static conditions 6. Mechanics of TRC composite 7. Flexural modelling and design 8. High rate loading 9. Durability of TRC 10. Repair and retrofit with TRC 11. Potential for TRC integration in novel construction
