  2. 1. CONCRETE FORM[ing]WORK : Design, Fabrication, Simulation and Correlation of Parametrically Patterned Flexible Formwork and Concrete

    Author : Annie Locke Scherer; Oliver Tessmann; Jonas Runberger; Remo Pedreschi; KTH; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; concrete; flexible formwork; geometry; parametric patterning; craft; smocking; simulation; correlation; betong; flexibel formsättning; geometri; parametrisk mönsterkonstruktion; hantverk; smockning; simulering; korrelation; Architectural Technology; Arkitekturteknik;

    Abstract : Concrete is one of the most commonly used construction materials, yet industrial fabrication continues to default to established standards of planar formwork and uniform cross-sections for the sake of simplicity and predictability. The research conducted within Concrete Form[ing]work explored alternative methods of producing concrete formwork with a simple, technical re-imagination of material: exchanging the familiar, i.

  4. 2. Sustainability and Flexural Behaviour of Textile Reinforced Concrete

    Author : Natalie Williams Portal; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Life Cycle Assessment LCA ; sustainability; Textile Reinforced Concrete; TRC; facade elements; flexural behaviour; non-linear finite element analyses; structural tests;

    Abstract : Concrete reinforced with conventional steel is one of the most commonly used building materials, yet it has historically shown disadvantages in terms of durability and vulnerability to corrosion attack. Various remedial methods have been applied to overcome the shortcomings of this building material, such as increasing the concrete cover, which, however, leads to an increased self-weight of the structure.

  5. 3. Usability of Textile Reinforced Concrete: Structural Performance, Durability and Sustainability

    Author : Natalie Williams Portal; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; sustainability; life cycle assessment; experimental methods; finite element analysis; durability; Textile reinforced concrete;

    Abstract : Textile reinforced concrete (TRC) is an innovative high performance composite material consisting of open multi-axial textiles embedded in a fine-grained concrete matrix. Despite the fact that TRC-based research has revealed many promising attributes, it has yet to reach its recognition due to a lack of available design tools, standards and long-term behaviour.

  6. 4. Material development of a textile bioreactor : All-polyamide composite for the construction of bioreactors

    Author : Mostafa Jabbari; Mikael Hedenqvist; Högskolan i Borås; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; textile bioreactor; biofuel; coated fabric; all-polyamide composite; polyvinyl chloride PVC ; solvent replacement; Hansen solubility parameters HSPs ; Resource Recovery; Resursåtervinning;

    Abstract : Bioreactors are manufactured from stainless/carbon steel, concrete, glass, etc., which are costly and time-consuming to install. Recently, several research studies have been initiated to find cost-efficient materials for constructing bioreactors, one of which is coated textiles. READ MORE

  7. 5. Strengthening of concrete beams using cementitious carbon fibre composites

    Author : Anders Wiberg; KTH; []
    Keywords : civil; materials science; textile technology;

    Abstract : The research described in this thesis deals with the use ofcement-based carbon fibre reinforced composites forstrengthening of existing structural concrete. There is a large world-wide need for simple and reliablemethods to repair and strengthen aging infrastructure andbuildings. READ MORE
