Randomized trial evaluates strengthening effects of textile reinforced mortars in concrete structures, indicating improved structural integrity.

This research investigates the mechanical behavior of textile reinforced mortars (TRMs) for enhancing concrete structures' strength.
Investigated tensile response using clevis grip method.
Analyzed bond behavior via single lap shear tests.
Conducted three-point flexure tests on reinforced concrete beams with carbon TRMs.
Carbon TRM achieved tensile performance similar to OPC TRM, demonstrating 10% flexural strength increase with key reinforcement ratios.
Bond tests revealed carbon TRM failure primarily due to matrix-textile debonding.
Parametric finite element analyses indicated that failure was marked by concrete crushing without full utilization of textiles.

Escobar et al. (2026) studied this question.
