Textile Reinforced Concrete for Future Homes

​This project is a part of FORMAS funded Homes for Tomorrow and is carried out as a PhD. within the Concrete Structures research group.
It focuses on the durability of Textile Reinforced Concrete (TRC) exposed to varied environments.

TRC is a recently developed alternative building material which replaces steel reinforcement with multi-axial textile fabrics, such as AR-glass, carbon and basalt.

The project is carried out at the Divison of Structural Engineering in the research group Concrete Structures. The project is related to the TailorCrete project.
