This project aims to investigate a novel solution incorporating upcycled textile waste to reduce shrinkage induced cracking in reinforced concrete. The project is expected to generate new knowledge in crack nucleation and healing mechanisms in concrete and the application of flexible textile fibre reinforcement to control shrinkage induced cracking, creating a new fibre reinforced composite. The expected outcome is a reduction in construction waste through extending the life span of concrete structures and reducing textile waste, 85% of which is currently disposed in landfills. The new composite could deliver a circular solution to textile waste leading to significant social, environmental and economic benefits.

本项目旨在研究一种新的解决方案，包括回收的纺织废料，以减少收缩引起的钢筋混凝土裂缝。该项目预计将在混凝土中的裂缝形核和愈合机制以及应用柔性纺织纤维增强来控制收缩引起的裂缝方面产生新的知识，创造一种新的纤维增强复合材料。预期的结果是通过延长混凝土结构的寿命和减少纺织废物来减少建筑废物，目前85%的纺织废物被处置在垃圾填埋场。这种新型复合材料可以提供纺织废物的循环解决方案，从而产生显著的社会、环境和经济效益。
