Abstract

The development of Textile Reinforced Concrete (TRC) requires the development of design methods. As cement based composites present anisotropic behavior at different levels, we suggest to consider the initial elastic stage of the elementary layer behavior law in tension, compression and shear, limited by a crack opening threshold. Then, we apply the polar method, allowing to optimize a multilayer stacking sequence in order to obtain an overall quasi-isotropic behavior of a composite plate.
