Abstract:Through tensile and four-point bending tests, the effects of the number and types of textile, the coating treatments of textile, and the content of PVA fibers on the tensile and bending mechanical properties of textile reinforced engineered cementitious composites (TRE) were studied. The test results show that, compared with the single-layer textile TRE specimen, the ultimate tensile stress of the double-layer textile TRE specimen becomes nearly double, the ultimate bending load increases from 0.73KN to 1.62KN, the ultimate tensile strength and ultimate bending strength are significantly improved, and the rigidity is increased. Compared with carbon-glass textile reinforced TRE specimens, the tensile and bending mechanical properties of basalt-glass textile reinforced TRE specimens are lower. The ultimate tensile strength and ultimate bending strength of the TRE specimens showed a decreasing trend after the carbon-glass textile surface was impregnated by epoxy resin and covered with sand, but the ultimate tensile deformation and ultimate mid-span deflection increased. In addition, when the PVA fiber content is increased from 1% to 2%, the ultimate tensile stress increases from 4.15MPa to 7.05MPa, the bending cracking load of the TRE specimens is increased, the tensile and bending properties are improved.
