Abstract

A concrete element with improved fire resistance having a textile reinforcement, such as carbon fibers. The concrete covers the textile reinforcement around 10 to 25 mm, the concrete being made from binding agents based on geopolymers or calcium-aluminate cements or Portland cement or blast furnace cement combined with an increased concentration of more than 2 kg/m3 polypropylene fibres and high temperature resistant aggregates. The textile reinforcement with fibers/filaments are impregnated with an impregnation mass/resin, ensuring, even at very high temperatures, a transmission of force between the fibres and the impregnation mass and protecting against the entry of oxygen. It also contains an organic faction of, for example, a maximum of 20 wt. %, wherein the impregnation masses being used, have a filler which is stable at high temperatures in an added amount of, for example, at least 12.5% in the form of particles.

Dependent claims

A concrete element that has improved fire resistance with a textile reinforcement including carbon fibers, the concrete element comprising at least one or more of:

a) a concrete cover, which covers the textile reinforcement and which has a thickness of 10 to 20 mm, the concrete cover any one or combination of containing high temperature-resistant binders based on geopolymers, containing polypropylene fibers in a concentration of at least 4 kg/m3, produced with aggregate gravel only having particle sizes of up to 8 mm,
b) carbon fibers or filaments of the textile reinforcement that are impregnated with an impregnation mass, the impregnation mass containing, at most an organic component of 20%, the impregnation mass containing silicon-organic compounds and/or high temperature-stable fillers,
c) carbon fibers of the textile reinforcement that are surrounded by oxidation barriers that protect the carbon fibers from oxidation, the oxidation barriers being realized by one or more of
direct application to the surface of the carbon fibers before the application of a sizing agent to the carbon fibers,
application of at least one modified sizing agent prior to application of a sizing agent to the carbon fibers,
postprocessing of a carbon fiber roving of the textile reinforcement that has already been provided with a sizing agent,
modifying a resin system used for impregnation of the carbon fiber roving,
applying an oxidation protection system from outside onto the carbon fiber roving, which has already been coated with a resin,
d) antioxidants, which are contained in the oxidation barriers.
