Difference in tensile behavior of textile reinforced mortar and textile reinforced mortat additionally with short fiber reinforcement - enhancement of crack stress and energy dissipation
© Institute of Construction Materials

The project aims to elaborate a holistic material concept for such composites to develop suitable matrices and to describe and adapt the composite behavior.

Specifically, the project deals with the development of hybrid concrete from textile reinforcement and ductile short fibers, the investigation of the influence of artificial defects or inclusions as well as the structure of matrix and reinforcement on fiber activation and energy dissipation. The material concept is to be based on a model description of the strength, deformation and fracture behavior of concretes with hybrid reinforcement.
