Stochastic approach for the material properties of reinforcing textiles for the design of concrete members

Abstract Textile-reinforced concrete has emerged in recent years as a new and valuable construction material. The design of textile-reinforced concrete requires knowledge on the mechanical properties of different textile types as well as their reinforcing behaviour under different loading conditions...
