Mechanical, electrical and self-sensing properties of cementitious mortars containing short carbon fibers
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored mechanical, electrical and self-sensing properties of carbon fiber reinforced mortars through the addition of short carbon fibers, at different dosages (2, 3, 4% by weight of cement).

Textile reinforced mortar (trm) versus frp as strengthening material of urm walls: out-of-plane cyclic loading
TL;DR: In this article, the application of textile-reinforced mortar (TRM) as a means of increasing the load carrying capacity and deformability of unreinforced masonry walls subjected to cyclic in-plane loading is experimentally investigated.

Shear strengthening of reinforced concrete members with textile reinforced mortar (TRM) jackets
TL;DR: The application of textile reinforced mortar (TRM) as a means of increasing the shear resistance of reinforced concrete members is investigated in this article, where it is concluded that textile-mortar jacketing provides substantial gain in shear resilience; this gain is higher as the number of layers increases and is sufficient to transform shear type failure to flexural failure.

Experimental analysis on bond between PBO-FRCM strengthening materials and concrete
TL;DR: In this article, the effectiveness of externally bonded strengthening for reinforced concrete (RC) elements strongly depends on the bond between the strengthening material and the concrete and on the mechanical properties of the concrete cover.
