“…A TRC egy olyan kompozit anyag, mely nagyon széles körben alkalmazható, akár szerkezeti rehabilitációknál [3][4][5][6][7], könnyű teherhordó szerkezetekhez [8,9], vagy homlokzati lemezekhez [10][11][12][13][14]. A TRC elemek geometriájától függően többféle formázási módszert alkalmaznak: zsaluzást, szórást vagy laminálást [15].…”

The textile reinforced concrete is a material with increased mechanical properties that can allow the production of lighter structural elements. The alkali-resistant textile reinforcement is not affected by corrosion. A structural facade panel and a light pole were modelled in order to study their behavior in case of wind pressure. The developed numerical simulations were calibrated upon the available data from the literature. These simulations revealed some information that may worth to be taken into consideration in order to plan further experimental tests.

“…Partial substitution of some environmentally demanding concrete components appears to be an interesting solution [20,21], as well as the use of recycled concrete waste [22,23]. Another option is to use high-performance materials, or suitably optimized cross-sections of individual elements [24,25], or to replace steel reinforcement by non-convention reinforcement [26,27]. Textile reinforced concrete (TRC) [28] can contribute to a solution by providing two advantages: steel replacement and considerable concrete savings [29].…”

Pitch-faced concrete is becoming a very popular element of modern architecture in the 21st century. In particular, the demand for concrete facades is increasing globally. On the other hand, climate change, environmental degradation, and limited resources are motivations for sustainable building materials. The construction industry is one the highest emitters of CO2 and other greenhouse gases, in which concrete plays a major role. Thus, reduction in the volume of concrete consumption is essential to control greenhouse gases. One approach to this problem is to use textile reinforced concrete (TRC). The main aim of the present study was to compare the subtle TRC facade made of three different types of technical textile rovings (glass, carbon, and basalt) with ordinary facades reinforced by steel reinforcement (ORC). The goal was to compare the basic environmental impact potential according to product category rules (PCR) for concrete structures. The functional unit was defined as an experimental facade with an area of 60 m2 and a 100-year lifespan. Inventory data were elaborated for concrete, steel, and textile fiber production; the building site; service life; demolition; and final disposal. The main life cycle assessment (LCA) parameters were global warming potential (GWP), ozone depletion (ODP), acidification (AP), eutrophication (EP), abiotic depletion (ADP), and photochemical oxidant creation (POCP). All the data used in the work were related to Czech Republic. Textile reinforced concrete facades appeared to be more environmentally friendly in four of six impact categories by an average of 30%. The results of the present study revealed that, in comparison to ORC, TRC has a lower environmental impact for the given conditions and thus good potential for use in sustainable construction.

“…However, reducing the thickness cannot be done indefinitely, and therefore other methods are also successfully used to reduce the weight of the panel. An example may be lightening the panel with polystyrene [5] or reinforcement with ribs [6].…”

This article deals with the development of lightweight UHPC facade panel which also can serve as an LED display. Combining both functions into one gives the potential ability to create a LED display on the facade of the building. The article describes the experiences of the development and production of a small-format prototype facade panel, including the installation of LEDs and their electrical connection. The result of the research is the prototype of a 16mm thick small-format lightweight facade panel with a LED display for displaying text on two parallel lines. Thanks to the waffle lightening, the total material and weight savings are approximately 58% compared with the full cross section.
