Fibre textile reinforced cementitious composites: experimental investigation and modelling of three point bending tests on short beams

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference paperResearch

Abstract

Textile reinforced cements (TRCs) have proven to be a promising alternative material to steel reinforced
concrete for use in construction. This research presents shear experiments performed on short TRC
beams with a length to thickness ratio of four to one. A numerical model, using inputs from previously
performed tensile experiments is used to predict the shear behaviour of these composites. Furthermore,
a layered-wise analytical model is used to verify the through-thickness stress response obtained from
the numerical consideration. In general, a good agreement is witnessed between the numerical model
and the experimental results on one hand and between the through-thickness stress response obtained
from both the analytical and numerical modelling approach.
