Abstract: Textile-reinforced mortar (TRM) confinement enhances the compressive strength and ultimate axial strain of concrete. This research investigated the confinement mechanism of TRM, focusing on the role of the mortar matrix. ...

Abstract: One typical application of textile-reinforced mortar (TRM) is as a confining material for concrete. The compressive behavior of TRM-confined concrete is often predicted by referring to the models of fiber-reinforced polymer ...
