Textile concrete involves using layers of customised textiles in cement mortar mixes, a very high volume fraction of textile is required to obtain max strength.
With the layers of textile in contact with each other, the mortar mix will be in holes in the textile and will form a film like layer between the layers of textile.
In three point bend tests the cementitious matrix will break at a very low figure,
the applied force gets taken up by the layers of textile, 15% or more strain
is reached without failure.
Textile testing can be used to cause failure, 20% to 30% strain to failure has been reached.
These figures apply to organic textiles, which are ductile!

What would stay up in a flood concrete or reinforced concrete?
More likely reinforced concrete.

Define steel reinforced concrete?
Steel reinforced concrete is concrete with rods of steel running through it.
How do you make reinforced concrete?
Reinforced concrete is just normal concrete with steel reinforement placed inside.

When does plain concrete become reinforced?
Reinforced concrete has steel bars embedded in it. It is also called re-barred concrete.

What is reinforced concrete?
Reinforced concrete is concrete reinforced with steel bars because although concrete is very strong in compression (depending on its components) it is very weak in tension and the steel bars make up for the required tensile strength.
The maximum thickness of a reinforced concrete wall?
The maximum thickness of a reinforced concrete wall is 203 mm.
What is safer over reinforced concrete or under reinforced concrete?
Under-reinforced concrete is generally considered safer than over-reinforced concrete. This is because under-reinforced concrete will fail in a ductile manner, allowing for noticeable deformation and warning signs before catastrophic failure occurs. In contrast, over-reinforced concrete can fail suddenly and brittlely due to excessive steel reinforcement, potentially leading to more dangerous situations. Therefore, under-reinforced designs are preferred for safety in structural applications.
