| Abstract: |
When reconstructing the Zwickau School of Engineering for use as an IRS Office it became necessary to strengthen a reinforced concrete roof structure more than 100-years of age with textile reinforced concrete (TRC). Compared to other strengthening options, only TRC was able to meet the varied demands of monument and fire protection, the architect, as well as the construction company/contractor, while simultaneously meeting all static standards. The thin TRC layer, made of fine-grained concrete with embedded textile reinforcement, was applied to the roof structure in a total thickness of only 10 to 15 mm. |
