 Technology Profile

Title:

Textile Reinforced Concrete Prototyping Technology (TRCPT)

Value Proposition:

Textile reinforced concrete (TRC) is an upcoming non-conventional construction material consisting of fine grained cementitious binder and non-metallic textile reinforcement. Textile Reinforced Concrete Prototyping Technology (TRCPT) is a precast technology to produce TRC components. TRCPT can serve as an effective indigenous technological solution for pre-cast construction industry to achieve economical mass production of TRC products.

Summary Application:

Production of standalone components such as sandwich panels, facade elements, industrial flooring tiles, street furnitures, canopy structure partition walls, noise barriers, roofing elements, manhole covers. Production of nonstructural components such as flower pots, wash basins, door and window frames, door panels, etc.

Advantages:
  • The textile reinforced concrete has enhanced durability, eco-efficiency and cost effectiveness.
  • Completely avoids the conventional way of concrete construction, which require moulds.
  • Different products can be custom made as per requirement without modification in the apparatus
  • Using this novel technology, the textile reinforced concrete sheets are prototyped to produce many products of various shapes and forms.
  • This technology can be used in sites as well as in pre-fabrication plants.
