Abstract
This study investigates the bond behavior of textile-reinforced alkali activated cement (AAC) concrete. AAC is a promising substitute for ordinary Portland cement, addressing the environmental concerns associated with the latter. Textile reinforcements are made of high-performance materials such as carbon. Using fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) textiles with AAC concrete makes it possible to have corrosion-resistant, environmentally friendly thin concrete structures. This study investigates the bond between FRP textiles and fine-grained AAC concrete. The effect of concrete casting position, textile orientation, and concrete strength was investigated. The compressive strength showed a significant influence, while the casting position showed no considerable effect on the bond. Changing the textile orientation showed some change in bond strength.
