Analysis shows Kevlar improves flexural strength and mechanical performance in textile-reinforced concrete, indicating enhanced design flexibility.

The solid 3D woven fabric configuration exhibited significant flexural strength of 12.17 MPa, much higher than the unreinforced sample.
The compressive strength of the 3D rebar configuration was measured at 14.31 MPa, slightly above the 13.28 MPa unreinforced control sample.
Testing methods followed ASTM standards, focusing on the analysis of three Kevlar reinforcement configurations.
These findings suggest textile-reinforced concrete can be effective for lightweight elements in construction, supporting sustainable practices.

Hendra et al. (2025) studied this question.
