<jats:italic>This paper presents the research activities in the field of textile reinforced concrete</jats:italic>
<jats:italic>carried out by the Institute of Textile and Clothing Technology (ITB) of the Technische</jats:italic>
<jats:italic>Universität Dresden, Germany. Extensive research has been conducted with the aim to</jats:italic>
<jats:italic>fully use the tensile strength of the applied high-performance fiber material in the</jats:italic>
<jats:italic>reinforcing textile. To achieve this, the textile machinery was adjusted and improved and</jats:italic>
<jats:italic>new testing methods were developed. This research has resulted thus far in several</jats:italic>
<jats:italic>innovative applications for the repair of existing buildings as well as the production of</jats:italic>
<jats:italic>precast concrete parts.</jats:italic>
