摘要：Reinforced concrete beams are the important structural element that transmit the load from slab, wall tocolumns. Due to increasing serviceability requirement and poor construction practice in the past, there is a need tostrengthening of beam to resist sudden failure against shear. In this paper, the effectiveness of textile-reinforced mortars(TRMs), for increasing the shear resistance of reinforced concrete beams, is to be investigated experimentally. TRM is acombination of textile bonded to RC member using cementitious mortar. The strength of TRM depends on tensilestrength of textile and bonding strength of mortar. Textiles comprise of fabric meshes made of long woven, knitted oreven unwoven fiber rovings in at least two (typically orthogonal) directions. TRMs may be considered as an alternative tofiber-reinforced polymers (FRP), providing solutions to many of the problems associated with application of the latterwithout compromising much of the performance of strengthened members. In the present study, a new type of textile(nylon-based textile) is used as strengthening material. The variation in strength with orientation of fiber and number oflayers were studied.
