Concrete　cracking　is　the　major　cause　of　steel　corrosion　and　performance　degradation　of　reinforced　concrete　(RC)　members.　To　significantly　enhance　the　crack　resistance　and　flexural　performance　of　RC　beams,　textile　and　fiber-reinforced　concrete　(FRC)　were　used　in　this　study,　and　a　simple　anchoring　method　of　textile　was　proposed　to　prevent　debonding　failure.　Eight　RC　beams　were　designed　and　tested,　and　the　test　variables　included　carbon　textile,　anchoring　method　and　pouring　thickness　of　FRC.　The　test　results　revealed　that　the　proposed　anchoring　method　can　effectively　avoid　the　debonding　phenomenon;　both　carbon　textile　and　FRC　can　improve　the　crack　resistance,　improve　the　flexural　capacity　and　reduce　the　damage　of　specimens.　Among,　the　combination　of　carbon　textile　and　FRC　is　the　most　effective　method　to　improve　the　mechanical　properties　of　specimens.　Compared　with　the　ordinary　RC　beam,　the　crack　resistance　and　flexural　capacity　of　textile-FRC　composite　beams　can　be　increased　by　79.56%　and　39.04%　respectively　under　specific　conditions.　With　the　increase　of　the　pouring　thickness　of　FRC,　the　mechanical　properties　of　the　specimens　gradually　enhanced,　while　the　growth　rate　gradually　slowed　down.　Through　sectional　analysis,　the　calculation　methods　of　the　load-midspan　deflection　curve　and　flexural　capacity　of　textile-FRC　composite　beams　were　established.　The　accuracy　and　applicability　of　the　calculation　methods　were　verified　by　test　and　finite　element　analysis.　In　addition,　theoretical　calculation　results　show　that　the　enhancing　effect　is　not　significant　in　the　case　that　the　pouring　thickness　of　FRC　is　beyond　64%　of　the　section　height.　©　2023　Elsevier　Ltd
