For the first time the innovative strengthening method was applied at rehabilitation and retrofitting of the shell structure of FH Schweinfurt. The reinforced-concrete structure was strengthened by textile reinforced concrete and made safer for future. Since textile-reinforced concrete is still no standardized construction material single case technical approval was given by the authorities for the application of textile reinforced concrete. This first practical application of TRC for strengthening was carried out in October/November 2006. The textile reinforced concrete strengthening was applied layer by layer on the sandblasted rough concrete surface. The strengthening layer is only 15 mm thin and consists of fine grained concrete and three layers textile fabric made of 800 tex carbon rovings.
