Influence of Coating on Mechanical Performance of Lap-Spliced Carbon Fiber-Textile Reinforced Mortar (TRM)

摘要

In this study, the effect of coating methods in the lap splice area on mechanical performance of lap-spliced carbon textile reinforced mortar (TRM) composites was investigated. The coating methods included textile reinforcement coated with epoxy, textile reinforcement coated with aluminum oxide powder and epoxy, and textile reinforcement coated with aluminum oxide powder, epoxy, and carbon fiber fabrics. It appears that the coated specimens showed higher peak strength and ultimate strain than those of the uncoated one.
