Abstract
The flexural behavior of mortar beams reinforced with coated carbon-fiber textile was experimentally analyzed in this study. Accordingly, pull-out and bending tests were performed on textile-reinforced mortar (TRM) beam specimens. The experimental results demonstrated the superior bond performance of the coated carbon-fiber textile. The TRM beam exhibited sufficient ductility even after the occurrence of flexural cracks. In addition, a theoretical analysis method for predicting the flexural behavior of a TRM beam was established based on the experimentally determined bond behaviors of the textile reinforcement in cementitious materials. The analysis demonstrated that the bending behavior of the TRM beam was reasonably predicted. The results of this study can serve as basic data for the structural application of textile-reinforced cementitious composites.
