Abstract: The potential for using textiles impregnated with cement as a means for in situ strengthening and retrofit of structural concrete was explored and compared with the conventional epoxy method. Fabrics of different geometries, ...

Abstract: There is a growing interest in the use of fabrics as reinforcements for cement composites due to their superior performance in comparison to other cementitious composites. This paper compares the effects of two processing ...

Abstract: The influence of a woven fabric structure on the flexural behavior of cementitious composites was studied. The fabrics used were all plain weave with different fills densities of 5, 7, or 10 fills per cm and the warps ...

Abstract: Fabric reinforced cement based composites are a new class of composites with superior tensile strength and ductility which have the potential for becoming load bearing structural members. This enhanced behavior is primarily ...
