Durability aspects of AR-glass-reinforcement in textile reinforced concrete, Part 2: Modelling and exposure to outdoor weathering

Advances in Construction Materials 2007

Abstract

For a safe design of TRC (Textile reinforced concrete) load bearing structures the loss of strength of TRC as a consequence of weathering should be modelled. In part 1, possible reasons for the loss of strength of a state-of-the art AR-glass textile reinforced concrete were discussed. These findings are first used in this paper as a base for a corrosion model, describing the loss of strength in lab conditions. Subsequently, temperature and humidity were continuously measured during outdoor weathering and implemented into the model.
