This project develops out of a collaborative project 'Girli Concrete' (name trademarked and currently seeking IPR) between Patricia Belford, Senior Research Fellow and Ruth Morrow, Professor of Architecture, both based at the University of Ulster. 'Girli Concrete' brings together concrete and textile technologies, testing ideas of concrete as textile and textile as structure. 'Girli Concrete' aims to create innovative 'soft' interior products, challenging the perception of textiles as only the 'dressing' to structure and instead integrate textile technologies into the production of wall panels. 'Girli Concrete' is borne out of a larger drive to transform traditionally 'hard' building products, defined by technical performance only, into products that address both technical and human performance. Girli Concrete applies creative and social thinking to traditionally technical building products and in so doing transforms a low tech, low cost material into highly tactile, aesthetic and high value products. Over the last 6 months 'Girli Concrete' has progressed significantly in consultation with a concrete manufacturer.This project 'Woven Concrete' for which we are seeking AHRC funding has developed out of and will support the continued development of Girli Concrete through the development of specialised woven fabrics specifically designed to be imbedded into concrete panels. To date Girli Concrete project has used a number of ready-made woven fabrics but we now wish to design and develop weaves using the expertise of a fellow research assistant who specialises in the area. At the same time the project will be observed by an inhouse textiles technologist who will advise on the physically characteristics of the resultant samples. The project is led by one of the co-developers of Girli Concrete: P Belford, who will be able to ensure that the progress to date in the 'Girli Concrete' project informs and guides the outcomes of 'Woven Concrete'. The project will also act as an automonous project offering Donna Campbell the opportunity to investigate variations in weave structures using combinations of metal and natural fibres; the effects of erosive and controlled distortion techniques and the properties of the resultant fabrics. The project is subdivided into 5 stages. Stage 1: Yarn trialsThis stage will involve the production of samples using a combination of yarns. The project 'girli concrete' has focused on the use of natural fabrics and hence these yarn trials will be predominantly natural fibres but will also introduce the 'control' yarn polypropylene. There will be a series of samples and control samples generated.Stage 2: Trialling and Selection of Resultant WeavesThis stage involves testing the stage 1 samples by placing into formwork and pouring concrete, followed by a period of controlled curing in lab conditions.The process and resultant cured samples will be observed by the PI, weave specialist, and materials chemist in terms of - bonding of weave to concrete- identification of any material flaws to be resolved and/or exploited and- aesthetic qualities (in line with girli concrete project)From the samples certain of the weaves (approx 5-6 weaves) will be identified for application of devoré (chemical process that erodes fabric) and controlled distortion (physical process integrated into weaving that distorts fabric). Stage 3: Trial Manufacture of Weaves (distorted and eroded)This stage involves the trial manufacture of selected weaves with the addition of devoré and controlled distortion techniques. Stage 4: Trialling and Selection of Resultant Weaves (distorted and eroded)This stage is a repetition of Stage 2 but with the samples generated in Stage 3Stage 5: Manufacture of full size samples The most successful of the samples tested in Stage 4 will then be manufactured to a size that suits the scale of the "girli concrete" panels.

该项目是由阿尔斯特大学高级研究员帕特里夏·贝尔福德和建筑学教授露丝·莫罗合作的“Girli Concrete”（商标名称，目前正在寻求知识产权）项目发展而来。“Girli Concrete”将混凝土和纺织技术结合在一起，测试混凝土作为纺织品和纺织品作为结构的想法。“Girli Concrete”旨在创造创新的“柔软”室内产品，挑战纺织品仅作为结构“装饰”的观念，而是将纺织技术融入墙板的生产中。“Girli Concrete”是一个更大的驱动力，将传统的“硬”建筑产品，仅由技术性能定义，转化为解决技术和人类性能的产品。Girli Concrete将创造性和社会性思维应用于传统的技术建筑产品，从而将低技术，低成本的材料转化为高触觉，美学和高价值的产品。在过去的6个月里，“Girli Concrete”在与混凝土制造商的协商中取得了重大进展。我们正在寻求AHRC资助的“编织混凝土”项目已经开发出来，并将通过开发专门设计用于嵌入混凝土面板的特殊编织织物来支持Girli Concrete的持续发展。到目前为止，Girli Concrete项目已经使用了许多现成的编织织物，但我们现在希望利用该领域的专业研究助理的专业知识来设计和开发编织。与此同时，一名内部纺织品技术专家将对该项目进行观察，他将对最终样品的物理特性提出建议。该项目由Girli Concrete的联合开发商之一P Belford领导，他将能够确保“Girli Concrete”项目迄今为止的进展通知并指导“Woven Concrete”的成果。该项目还将作为一个自动项目，为Donna坎贝尔提供机会，研究使用金属和天然纤维组合的编织结构的变化;侵蚀和控制变形技术的影响以及所得织物的特性。该项目分为5个阶段。 第一阶段：纱线试验这一阶段将涉及使用纱线组合生产样品。“girli concrete”项目的重点是使用天然织物，因此这些纱线试验将主要使用天然纤维，但也将引入“对照”纱线聚丙烯。将生成一系列样品和对照样品。第2阶段：试验和选择最终的编织物这一阶段包括测试第一阶段的样品，将其放入模板中并浇注混凝土，然后在实验室条件下进行一段时间的受控养护。PI，编织专家，- 织物与混凝土的粘合-识别任何待解决和/或利用的材料缺陷，以及-美学品质（与Girli混凝土项目一致）从样品来看，（大约5-6个编织）将被确定用于应用devoré（侵蚀织物的化学过程）和受控变形（结合到编织中的使织物变形的物理过程）。第三阶段：织物的试制（变形和腐蚀）这个阶段包括通过附加的变形和控制变形技术来试制选定的织物。第四阶段：试验和选择最终的组织（扭曲和侵蚀）这一阶段是第二阶段的重复，但使用的是第三阶段产生的样品第五阶段：生产全尺寸样品第四阶段测试的最成功的样品将被生产成适合“Girli混凝土”面板尺寸的尺寸。
