Investigation on the flexural behavior of concrete members reinforced with epoxy resin-impregnated textiles

Textile reinforced concrete (TRC) members reinforced with the fiber materials: AR glass or carbon having no plastic capacity have no distinct failure symptom when the ultimate load is reached, and this limits their application to load-bearing. Therefore, in this research, a new method of adding thin steel bars into TRC was studied and the analytical prediction of the flexural response of TRC members was investigated. Two types of specimens...
