Concrete’s great vulnerability against impact demonstrates significant risks of injury for workers and occupants in all building types, especially existing concrete structures in which protection measures were not originally integrated. Beside the social and economic costs directly associated with impact accidents, the reconstruction or replacement of buildings damaged by impact negatively affects the environment and resources. In response to the increasing public concern for safety and sustainability, the DFG Research Training Group GRK 2250 is formed with the core aim to develop significant improvements in the impact resistance of existing concrete buildings by applying thin strengthening layers made of innovative mineral-bonded composites. The introduction of textile-based high-performance reinforcement is highly instrumental in realizing the required functions of thin mineral-bonded strengthening layers.
Novel impact-resistant 3D reinforcement is developed on the basis of the innovative 3D cellular weaving technology in this dissertation. Woven 3D cellular structures are characterized by outstanding and customizable mechanical characteristics, owning to the flexible incorporation of elements with different materials and geometries both in in-plane and out-of-plane directions. Based on a systematic and partly iterative development process, impact-resistant woven 3D cellular reinforcements containing impact-load-oriented elements and impact-appropriate material combination are successfully designed and optimized. On the one hand, a series of experiments are conducted to capture the working mechanism of woven 3D cellular structure in mineral-bonded composites loaded under impact, and to understand the effects of critical structure features. On the other hand, feasible weave patterns and effective technological solutions are worked out and implemented to enable a reliable and low-damage manufacturing process. Through a series of impact experiments, it can be strongly evidenced that the developed 3D cellular reinforcement pronouncedly enhances the load bearing capacity, ductility and energy dissipation of mineral-bonded composite undergoing impact, thus, remarkably enhances its impact resistance.
The development of impact-resistant woven 3D cellular reinforcements in this dissertation introduces a completely new and unique class of textile-based reinforcement for concrete, as well as mineral-bonded composites, with numerous benefits over the presently available reinforcing structures. A major advantage of the novel 3D cellular reinforcement is the capability to activate and exploit multiple energy dissipation mechanisms using both material and structure properties, through which remarkable impact resistance can be obtained. Thanks to a high degree of versatility and flexibility in material combination and structure design, in combination with a high degree of automation and flexibility of the weaving technology, impact-resistant woven 3D cellular reinforcement that is highly customized to specific impact scenarios can be produced with a significant time and cost efficiency. Furthermore, impact-resistant woven 3D cellular reinforcements possess an integral 3D architecture that ensures a high structure stability, allowing for a speedy casting process with a high placement-accuracy. On that basis, a reasonable production cost and a stable performance of designed functions can be obtained. The successful development of impact-resistant woven 3D cellular reinforcement essentially facilitates the successful creation of high-performance mineral-bonded strengthening layers, through the use of which the impact resistance of existing concrete structures, thus, their sustainable use, significantly enhances.:1 INTRODUCTION AND MOTIVATION 1
