Textile reinforced mortar (TRM) is a composite material consisting of dry fibers embedded in cementitious matrix, commonly used for strengthening masonry and concrete structures. In general, tensile characterization required to identify the TRM mechanical properties, which are considered key parameters needed structural design systems. This paper presents results an experimental study conducted investigate properties TRM. this effort, total 15 coupons 410 mm length, 50 width, 10 thickness were tested under uniaxial load with clevis-type anchors. Three different types textile materials considered: carbon, glass, polyparaphenylene benzobisoxazole (PBO). As results, common shape constitutive law was observed. Moreover, average listed each type Finally, considerations presented work can enrich literature background data, beneficial future applications systems rehabilitation repair.
