Significance & Innovations

Recently, the application of textile-reinforced concrete (TRC) in thin-walled precast structures has gained significant attention. Among these innovations, the combination of TRC and reinforced concrete (RC) has emerged as an effective method for creating hybrid structural systems. This paper presents the experimental results analyzing the shear behavior of a hybrid deck slab structure consisting of TRC stay-in-place (SiP) formwork and RC components.

The noncondensable gases in most geothermal resources include CO2 and smaller amounts of other gases. Currently, the worldwide geothermal power is a small sector within the energy industry, and CO2 emissions related to the utilisation of geothermal resources are consequently small. In some countries, however, such as Turkey and Iceland, geothermal energy production contributes significantly to their energy budget, and their CO2 emissions are relatively significant.
