Abstract

Textile reinforced concrete (TRC) is an innovative construction material that has been used in recent years and consist of textile components with high tensile strength and concrete produced from fine-grained aggregates. Textile components can be used in the form of raw yarn, coated with various polymers, and recently, in the form of hybrid yarn. There are many hybrid yarn production methods used in the textile industry, and in this study, the braiding technique, which is suitable for the material used, is emphasized. In the study, samples were produced by positioning two different textile surfaces produced from three different yarn structures with carbon roving in three different positions in the concrete. The flexural strength of reinforced samples and unreinforced samples were compared. According to the test results, the effect of the production parameters on the flexural strength of the TRC developed in the study was tried to be determined.
