Delft University of Technology researches a method to produce such elements in a cost-efficient way using a re-usable flexible mould. The method requires a flexible reinforcement type for the production of the concrete elements. In this Master’s thesis one of the options to reinforce elements produced with the flexible mould was researched: textiles. In the first part of this project experiments were conducted on the behavior of (ar-glass) textile reinforced concrete in the flexible mould and the mechanical properties of textile reinforced concrete. Additionally the load bearing behavior of textile reinforced concrete was modeled using the finite element method in ANSYS. The second part of the project consisted out of a case study on the application of textile reinforced concrete elements as cladding panels.
