Description
Summary:Textile Reinforced Mortars (TRM) materials have been carefully investigated as an effective and innovative way of retrofitting structural strength. This study provides a concise summary of the structural behavior of TRM-reinforced structures. The article is broken into five sections. The first branch consists of examinations of the TRM's long-term viability. In contrast, the TRM's behavior under tension levels is described in the second branch. At the same time, the flexural strengthening and bonding features of TRM are discussed in the third and fourth branches, respectively. A comprehensive review of the seismic upgrading technique and its application is provided in the fifth branch, which includes the efficiency of TRM jackets in seismic retrofitting of reinforced concrete (RC). Overall, based on all the research and conclusions that were considered, where the TRM system demonstrated adequate effectiveness in the service load, yield stages, and the confinement of reinforced concrete, vastly improves strengths and deformability, increases ductility, and changes the mode of failure by flexural instead of shearing. With enhancements to energy dissipation and a secure bonding capacity at elevated temperatures, it was characterized by its great durability in a chemically hostile environment Compared to its epoxy-resin equivalents. Therefore, (TRM) is an appropriate replacement for (FRP) in some significant applications.
