3.1 Self-cleaning

For the tests on self-cleaning, rhodamine B was used. Rhodamine B was applied on two reference specimens without TiO2 and the discolourations were examined with a colorimeter. The first sample was irradiated with a light intensity of 35.5 W/ m2 in the middle of the sample. The second, how-

1 INTRODUCTION

Textile reinforced concrete consists of fine grained concrete and of inserted technical textiles made e. g. of alkali-resistant (AR) glass or carbon. The advantages of textile reinforced concrete are manifold. In contrast to traditional steel reinforced concrete, the concrete cover can be reduced to a few millimetres because there is no risk of corrosion. Hence, it becomes possible to manufacture filigree, thin-walled components and consequently to build light structures. The surface of the components can be designed arbitrarily and manufactured with a high surface quality.
