N2 - Textile reinforced concretes (TRCs) are innovative materials composed of continuous reinforcement fabrics embedded in a cement-based matrix. The excellent mechanical and durability properties of these composites have attracted extensive attention for the repair of existing structural components or for the development of new ones. To address the need for increasing the sustainability of construction materials, this study presents an experimental effort to replace the matrix of TRCs with low carbon concretes. For this purpose, a range of quaternary blended cement mixes made of Ordinary Portland Cement, Fly Ash, Limestone and Silica Fume (with 70% cement replacement levels) were developed. The mixes achieved the target compressive strength and the workability were used for the development of Glass-based TRCs. Flexural tests performed on the developed TRC composites show an improvement in the ultimate flexural strength and strain and a reduction of the environmental impact and cost compared to the common TRC composites available in the literature.
