Fiber reinforced concrete have been researched and used for many years, which strengthen the building structures to prevent from cracks initiation and propagation. Nevertheless, fibers just belong to "one-dimension linear reinforcement", not "two-dimension plane reinforcement". In the study, polypropylene (PP wrapping material) and stainless steel filaments (core material) were used to braid the ply yarn by a braiding machine. Then, the ply yarn was woven into grids and thermo-set in an oven. The grid will be used to reinforce the concrete in our future work. In the study, we would investigate the manufacturing and mechanical properties of grids braided from stainless steel/PP functional ply yarn. The results revealed that the braid stainless steel yam (BSY) exhibited desirable tensile strength than others, which implied the braiding process could improve the performance of ply yam.
