The invention relates to a system for connecting textile-reinforced structural modules along a connecting edge (76) having an edge groove (74) comprising yarn loops (4). According to the invention, the system comprises a wedge element (410) and two shell elements (420) having a keyway (422) and is provided for insertion into the two edge grooves (74) having overlapping yarn loops (4), wherein further the wedge element (410) is provided for partial extraction from the two oppositely arranged keyways (422) so that the shell elements (420) can be spread away from each other by wedge action and the yarn loops (4) can be pulled together. The invention further relates to an apparatus and a method for producing a textile reinforcement (10) comprising a yarn (2) arranged within a base frame (100) or for producing a textile-reinforced structural module (72) comprising the textile reinforcement (10) and a curable material, wherein a freely formable shaping device (200) is provided on which the structural module is formed. According to the invention, the textile reinforcement (10) can be formed between yarn holding devices (130, 180) arrangeable on bendable frame strips (110). The invention also relates to a concrete component comprising connected concrete structural modules and a printer description file, and a yarn deposition file.
A system for connecting textile-reinforced structural modules (72) along at least one connecting edge (76), wherein each structural module (72) has at least one continuous edge groove (74) having yarn loops (4) along at least the connecting edge (76), wherein a system (400, 403) comprises a wedge element (410, 413), has wedges (412) on at least one outer surface thereof and at least one shell element (420, 423) has surfaces corresponding to the wedges (412), wherein the yarn loops (4) are wrapping the system (400, 403), wherein the wedge element (410, 413) and the at least one shell element (420, 423) are inserted into the at least two edge grooves (74) with the overlapping yarn loops (4) in a way that the wedges (412) and the corresponding surfaces face each other, wherein further the wedge element (410, 413) is provided for partial extension or insertion relative to the at least one shell element (420, 413), so that by means of wedge action between the wedges (412) and the corresponding surfaces the wedge element (410, 413) and the at least one shell element (420, 423) are spread apart from each other when the wedge element (410, 413) is partially pulled out, forcing a distal end of each yarn loop (4) outward away from the continuous edge groove, which moves the distal end of a yarn loop of a first module away from a distal end of a yarn loop of an adjacent module, wherein each yarn loop is captive around a shell element and wedge, they cannot move away from each other, the yarn loops (4) are drawn towards each other at the same time, characterized in that the yarn loops (4) are part of the textile reinforcement of the structural modules (72), the wedge element (410, 413) and the at least one shell element (420, 423) follow the course thereof continuously over the entire length of the connecting edge (76).
