Abstract

A new high-performance hybrid material has been developed by the combination of textile reinforced concrete (TRC) and glass-fibre reinforced plastic (GFRP). So, advantages of both materials, namely high strength, durability, surface quality and cost-efficient production can be implemented in one hybrid material.For the composite of GFRP and TRC the integration of an interlayer for the mechanical and thermal decoupling was indispensable. The developed interlayer, consisting of an epoxy resin and a polyester nonwoven, guarantees a high and sustainable detention compound between GFRP and TRC. The new GFRP-TRC-hybrid material has a tensile strength of 165 MPa and a density of 1.65 g/cm3.
