Distributed strain measurements in thin expansive concrete slabs with biaxial textile reinforcement

The objective of the paper is to analyze the shrinkage and expansion strain development in thin slabs made of expansive concrete and reinforced with carbon textile reinforcement. The symmetrical textile reinforcement grid provided a biaxial restraint for the concrete shrinkage and expansion. Strains of the slabs were measured with distributed fiber optic sensors (DFOS) in both directions so that a 2D visualization of their distribution can be presented and analyzed. Parallel, standard restrained expansion tests (RET) were conducted to assess the expansive concrete mixture and large-scale beam specimens with uniaxial steel reinforcement were also equipped with DFOS and analyzed. This study aimed to compare the strains in uniaxially restrained elements with steel reinforcement and biaxially restrained textile reinforced concrete elements, in order to assess to what extent the results of the standard RET can be used for evaluation of textile reinforced concrete members.
