Within a research project production techniques were investigated to produce building members made of textile reinforced concrete in a batch production. Laminating, casting, spraying and spinning techniques have been evaluated as well as a combination of these methods. In the beginning the main focus was the production and manufacturing technique with the adjustment of fine grained concrete and fabrics to the respective production technique and the development and choice of distance holders. In order to investigate the manufacturing technique specimens were comprehensively produced by means of selected production techniques. This contains the choice of an adequate production technique, the design of the selected building members, the production of the utilised fabrics as well as the production and testing of the building members. This procedure was carried out for the production of elements of an integrated formwork and spun concrete tubes.
