Abstract
The report focuses on the study of the flexural properties of Textile Reinforced Mortar on Reinforced concrete beams using two distinct forms of textile fibre, such as carbon textile fibre and basalt textile fibre, which are separately superimposed on the strain zone by changing the amount of textile fibre layers. Two kinds of adhesives had been used for bonding textile overlays to the Reinforced concrete beams, such as organic and inorganic adhesives. The fine grained cement binder used in Textile reinforced Mortar behaves as an inorganic adhesive and epoxy was used instead of the organic binder. The number of layers used in overlays varied to determine their effectiveness in order to improve the load carrying ability. Beams and cylinders were cast and, therefore, experimental investigations were carried out on reinforced beams and cylinders using textile reinforced fibres in the flexure and split tensile tests. It was found that for the specimens overlaid with 2 layers of basalt fibre, the flexural strength increases by up to 38% and split durability increases by up to 12%
