Numerical modelling of fire-exposed textile reinforced concrete (TRC)

The building construction industry is in need of sustainable materials and solutions. Textile reinforced concrete (TRC) is a promising composite material with enormous potential in structural applications because it offers the possibility to construct lightweight but strong and sustainable elements. Textile-reinforced concrete is a combination of fine-grained concrete and multiaxial textile fabrics that has been fundamentally researched over the past decade [1–3]. TRC-based research has explored various facets of this composite material, such as its structural functionality, production, applicability, and design.
