Carbon fibre heavy tows consist of 50,000 individual filaments and can reduce material costs for a higher fibre volume in each textile concrete-reinforcing layer. This represents a considerable economic advantage over alkali-resistant glass fibres and conventional carbon fibre materials comprising 12,000 individual filaments, which are currently used in textile-reinforced concrete for maintaining and restoring buildings. A special research project has been carried out at the TU Dresden to produce concrete reinforcement from CFHT. The partner in the project was the textile machinery manufacturer, KARL MAYER MALIMO. A specially modified, industrial Malitronic® MULTIAXIAL warp knitting machine developed by KARL MAYER was used in the research work. The modifications made related primarily to the elements for delivering the CFHT material in the main reinforcing direction, i.e. the warp yams. The delivery units were modified to permit extremely accurate positioning of the yarns with no damage. The improvements included developing gentle warp yarn brakes for reducing filament breakages and installing combined warp yarn/holding-down sinkers for placing the warp yarns accurately between the needles. Special components were also integrated for processing the carbon material gently in the adjacent reinforcing direction. These are runners, or transport chains, which use the tension of the weft yarns to guarantee that the CFHT lies parallel and at right-angles to the adjacent reinforcing direction.
