Fassaden aus textilbewehrtem Beton

The new composite material textile-reinforced concrete offers a number of advantages, in particular for the manufacture of facades. The corrosion-resistant textile reinforcement and the low concrete cover required for it, makes possible the construction of thin-walled structural components. Filigree cladding panels of textile-reinforced concrete open up new ways for an entirely new application of the construction material concrete and give architects and engineers more freedom of design. In a research project sponsored by the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs in the German state of North-Rhine/Westphalia (NRW), cladding panels of textile-reinforced concrete are currently developed in a pilot project for application in a concrete construction project.
