This study explores using textile carbon fiber as the primary reinforcement in thin structural elements. These
elements, characterized by their reduced-thickness concrete, demonstrate exceptional corrosion resistance and improved
mechanical properties. Three specimens were analyzed experimentally and numerically, focusing on variations in fiber
content. The flexural behavior was assessed regarding cracking load, ultimate load, crack propagation, and strain in the
fiber strips. Doubling the fiber reinforcement resulted in a 35% increase in the maximum load capacity and enhanced
rigidity. The experiment results were verified using a nonlinear finite element analysis (NLFEA), which was carried out
with the assistance of the ANSYS software. There was only a 7.5% variance, which indicated that there was a high degree
of concordance, as demonstrated by the findings. The fact that this is the case lends credence to the dependability of the
model in the process of developing an ecologically friendly product.
