Abstract:

More and more old buildings must be strengthened. There are various methods by which to improve the torsional resistance of existing reinforced concrete elements. One method entails the use of Textile Reinforced Concrete (TRC). Test results will be used to demonstrate that TRC combined with AR-glass can be used to strengthen the torsional resistance of quadratic reinforced concrete elements. Both, an increase of improved resistance as well as improved serviceability, will be presented. Reduced torque and decreased crack widths are specific results that will be emphasized. An initial approach to determine the torsional resistance of square strengthened concrete components reinforced by TRC (AR-glass) will also be introduced.
