Failure mechanism of compressed short brick masonry columns confined with FRP strips

Experimental Research Into Dynamic Properties of Masonry Barrel Vaults Non-Reinforced and Reinforced With Carbon Composite Strips

“…The [NAKI I] project included extensive experimental research into the strengthening of masonry, stone, brick and mixed masonry pillars, walls and barrel vaults with composites based on high-strength, mainly carbon and glass, fibres and epoxy adhesives or polymer-modified cement mixes [7][8][9][10][11][12][13].…”

Increase of load‐carrying capacity of masonry with textile reinforced rendering / Erhöhung der Tragfähigkeit von Mauerwerk mit textilbewehrtem Putz

“…In this work, TRC jackets were applied in the form of: (i) 'frame bands' (forming a Π at the perimeter of the wall leaving an un-strengthened core) and (ii) bands as in (i) [30] bis [39]. Es gibt weiterhin einige Arbeiten, die die Effektivität von TRM-Bewehrung bei einer Belastung senkrecht zur Wandebene überprüfen [18], [40], [41] bis [44].…”

“…A recent research by Sandoval et al [28], [29] has analyzed the response of eccentrically loaded walls with the aim to provide improved empirical equations for the assessment of their ultimate capacity. In turn, most of the research contributions on the out-ofplane response of strengthened masonry have focused on the experimental characterization and analysis of walls reinforced with FRP strips normally glued with epoxy resin to the masonry substrate [30] to [39]. There are some works specifically oriented to evaluate the effectiveness of the TRM reinforcement against out-of-plane loading conditions [18], [40], [41] to [44].…”

Assessing the performance of CFRP strengthening on masonry walls using experimental modal analysis

“…Strengthening masonry structures with externally bonded FRP is a consolidated technique that has focused the research of several authors in the last years. Effectiveness of FRP has been analysed for different masonry structures (pillars [1,2], walls [3,4] or vaults [5,6]), different types of FRP and different loading conditions: compression [7], static shear [8], cyclic shear [9], static bending [10] or cyclic bending [11].…”
