Textile-reinforced concrete components with a sustainable natural-fiber reinforcement possess sufficient bond and tensile load-bearing behavior for the utilization in construction. This has been verified by researchers at the Fraunhofer WKI in collaboration with Biberach University of Applied Sciences and the industrial partner Fabrino. In the future, textile-reinforced components with natural-fiber reinforce- ment could therefore replace conventionally reinforced concrete components and improve the environmental balance in the construction industry.
