Abstract

The reinforcement of cement with glass fibre textiles imbues the composite with a tensile as well as compressive load-bearing capacity. The tensile capacity allows the elimination of steel reinforcement as well as the concrete corrosion cover in structural applications. With textile reinforced concrete (TRC) thin and/or free form shells could be realized. In this paper, a parametric study is used to evaluate the structural applicability of TRC for small span (2-15 m) doubly curved roof shells. The application of two different, existing TRC material combinations demonstrates the influence of the applied composite material on the design of the shell.
