Applying new composite material for strengthening and repairing existing structures is an important research topic. Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer/Plastics (CFRP) and Carbon Textile Reinforced Mortar (CTRM) are two common structural external reinforcement materials. 18 concrete specimens strengthened with CFRP and CTRM are prepared in this study. The quasi-static single-sided shear tests combined with the Digital Image Correlation (DIC) method is applied. The results show that the interface bonding strength of CFRP strengthening (0.76-0.96 MPa) is 65.0% to 74.8% higher than the CTRM-concrete interface (0.43-0.63 MPa). The ductility and energy dissipation capacity of CTRM strengthening is better than that of CFRP strengthening, and the effective bonding length is 125 to 300 mm. In practical work, CFRP is preferred for improving the strength of concrete components, while CTRM is preferred for improving ductility and seismic resistance.
