Textile-reinforced composite (TRC) is a new material composed of finely grained cement-based concrete and textile grids, which can be a substitute for fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) in strengthening applications. The diversity of the textile grid results in a difference in bond behaviors at the textile-matrix interface, which influences the tensile properties of TRC. Several researchers have investigated the tensile behaviors of TRC, mainly concentrating on the matrix strength, the content of short synthetic fibers, and the number of textile grids; discussions on the textile grid geometry, especially the coupling effect between the textile grid form and matrix category, remained limited. Therefore, this paper focuses on the effects of three carbon textile grids on the tensile behavior of TRC through a uniaxial tensile test; the design parameters also include the textile reinforcement ratio and matrix category. Twenty-seven groups of tensile samples were manufactured to investigate the effect of each variable on the crack distribution, failure pattern, stress-strain curve and characteristic parameter. The test results showed that flattening the roving diameter and especially thinning the coating depth ameliorated the matrix-to-textile permeability, and consequently improved the tensile mechanical properties of TRC. The enhancement level of tensile strength by increasing the textile reinforcement ratio was lower than that by optimizing textile grid form. In terms of different textile grid forms, the effect of the matrix category on the tensile performance of TRC showed significant differences. Finally, an analytical model is presented to forecast the stress-strain behavior of TRC with textile rupture failure.
