Abstract

Advances in the construction manufacturing have led to the development of innovative structural systems to reduce the structures weight. Accordingly, Textile Reinforced Concrete (TRC) as a technology that uses fibre reinforcement grids for strengthen concrete structures, notably glass and carbon fibres was introduced. Indeed, researchers have integrated these fibres within the concrete matrix to reduce cracking and improve flexibility. Compared to traditional concrete reinforcement methods, TRC offers several advantages, notably high corrosion resistance and flexibility. In this respect, the present work presents the results of an experimental study on the behaviour of high - performance mortar specimens reinforced by glass fibre grids. The effect of short glass fibres addition with 0.25, 0.5 and 0.75 was deeply studied under axial compression and four-point bending. The obtained results showed that the addition of short fibres within the mortar significantly improves the performances of the TRC, especially the structural ductility.
