| Abstract: | This study explores the benefits of combining Strain Hardening Cementitious Composite (SHCC) with biaxial Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) mesh to develop TR-SHCC. The hydrophilic nature and modulus of elasticity of PVA foster a strong bond and efficient stress redistribution within the composite. Tensile testing of a PVA-SHCC reinforced with different layouts of a PVA textile grid revealed that a three double-layer (3DL) configuration significantly improves tensile strength and strain-hardening capacity over the baseline SHCC. It also maintains an average crack width below 150 μm at 4% strain-hardening, a promising feature for applications in corrosive environments subject to dynamic actions such as earthquakes |
