To produce a slender structural member, the use of textile in concrete, herein referred to as textile-reinforced concrete (TRC), has been explored. The textile used is primarily carbon, producing a lightweight and durable construction material. The TRC possesses vast possibilities in terms of its usage, however, identification of accurate bond-slip behaviour at the materials interface is one of the limitations that need to be addressed. Based on the literature, there are difficulties in determining the bond-slip relationship both experimentally and numerically, creating inconsistency in the results. This study aims to determine the bond-slip relation of TRC through pull-out tests and finite element analysis in order to replicate the actual bond-slip behaviour at the interface. The bond characteristics of TRC were assessed ...

The high tenacity of the textile fibers results in flexible and durable concrete structures. The literature has been limited to TRC applications in retrofitting and nonstructural applications. Therefore, this article attempts to detangle the progressive research direction on the usage of TRC as a structural member. For this, (i) a bibliometric study using scientometrics analysis to visualize the keyword network, and (ii) qualitative discussions on identified research areas were performed. The literature was categorized into four main research areas, namely material properties of TRC, composite behavior of TRC, bond-slip relations, and TRC applications as structural elements. In addition, the advantages and disadvantages in the usage of TRC as a structural member are discussed in association with the identified research areas. Furthermore, the arti...
