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.
Keywords: Textile Reinforced Concrete, TRC, novel building material, future buildings, homes for tomorrow
