    Abstract:

    The three-point bending tests were conducted to investigate the effects of various textile layers, steel fibers volume contents and prestress levels on the flexural behavior of Basalt Textile Reinforced Concrete(BTRC) plates. With the increase of textile layers, the flexural strength and toughness of BTRC plate are improved. Prestress on the textiles improves the first crack stress and the post-cracking flexural stiffness, but decreases the ultimate deflection of BTRC plate, while no obvious change occurs for the flexural strength. Adding steel fibers in matrix is revealed to positively affect the first crack stress, flexural strength and toughness of BTRC plate, and the effect of steel fibers on the flexural strength is more prominent after applying prestress on the textiles. Moreover, the increase of textile layers and the presence of steel fibers contribute to the crack pattern characterized by more and finer cracks; however, prestress on the textile reduces the crack number and increases the crack spacing.
