Textile reinforced concrete (TRC) is an upcoming non-conventional construction material consisting of fine-grained cementitious binder and non-metallic textile reinforcement. CSIR-Structural Engineering Research Centre (CSIR-SERC) has developed textile-reinforced concrete prototyping technology (TRCPT), a precast technology to produce TRC components for which an Indian patent has been granted. TRCPT can serve as an effective indigenous technological solution to achieve economical mass production of TRC products.
