Abstract Textile Reinforced Cementitious (TRC) composites have gained recent attention due to several advantages compared to traditional steel-reinforced concrete, such as concrete usage reductions and design freedom. The implementation of this technology on a sandwich design offers light-weight and slender structural elements with superior mechanical performance. Despite their advantages, they exhibit a complicated structural and fracture pattern rendering their monitoring essential, as only detailed information on the damage modes will lead to understanding their failure behaviour. This review paper reports on NDTs’ application, working principle and configuration, performance and accuracy. Potential future lines of research and advances are discussed.
