Abstract

The construction industry continuously seeks innovative solutions to enhance the performance, sustainability, and efficiency of building materials and structures. Among these solutions, Concrete Fabric Frameworks (CFFs) have emerged as an innovative concept that integrates textile-reinforced concrete (TRC) with fabric-based frameworks for use in construction applications. CFFs combine the flexibility and adaptability of textiles with the structural integrity of concrete, resulting in lightweight yet durable structures. The core idea behind CFFs is to utilize fabric meshes or grids to reinforce concrete, offering numerous benefits such as reduced material consumption, improved tensile strength, and the ability to mold complex shapes more efficiently than traditional construction methods. These frameworks allow for the design of advanced architectural forms that are not only cost-effective but also environmentally sustainable, as they minimize waste and energy consumption during production and construction processes. The research into CFFs explores various fabric types, concrete mixtures, and reinforcement techniques to optimize the performance of these systems under various loads, environmental conditions, and usage scenarios. This abstract discusses the development of Concrete Fabric Frameworks, their potential applications in architecture, civil engineering, and infrastructure projects, and the future prospects of integrating this technology into mainstream construction practices.
