Ein Ausblick auf das Zusammenspiel von Faltprozess und Drapierbarkeit der Textilbewehrung.

An outlook on the interaction between the folding process and the drapability of the textile reinforcement The production of textile‐reinforced concrete (TRC) components, particularly by preforming, has traditionally relied heavily on iterative processes and decisions. While this approach is effective for certain established TRC applications, it leads to a significant planning effort and carries the risk of overlooking technically or economically more favorable alternatives. This paper proposes to utilize the principles of folded load‐bearing structures as the basis for the production line of TRC components. This new methodology has both material and process requirements and focuses on the use of folded formwork and its effects on the drapability of reinforcement textiles. Based on initial findings from the field of folded formwork and the analysis of the drapability of textile mesh reinforcements, the relationships and dependencies between the material "textile", the process "folded formwork" and the product "folded load‐bearing TRC structures" are shown and the challenges of these subfields are revealed. In this way, the study aims to rationalize production planning, reduce dependence on traditional methods and open up ways of incorporating innovative materials and processes into TRC production. The approach harbors significant potential for the economic viability of folded load‐bearing TRC structures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
