Abstract
Textile-reinforced mortar (TRM) and fiber-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) systems have recently emerged as novel structural materials and/or as materials for strengthening damaged or deficient concrete or masonry structural elements. Such materials and systems are competitive with reinforced concrete and with conventional polymer-based fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) strengthening systems in certain applications, as described elsewhere in this book; however, while TRM and FRCM systems have seen limited applications globally, additional research is needed, both with respect to their performance under ambient conditions and their high temperature performance, before they can be widely applied with confidence in buildings and industrial applications. This chapter reports on the available literature on the fire performance of TRM and FRCM materials and systems for civil engineering applications. Recommendations for further research are given at the end of this chapter.
