Abstract:Textile Reinforced Mortars (TRMs) have received extensive attention for externally bonded reinforcement of historical and masonry structures. Despite this recent attention, the available information on the test methods and mechanical performance of TRMs at different scales are limited. Extensive experimental results are still necessary for development of design formulas and application guidelines. This paper presents a multi-level experimental investigation on the performance of Steel Reinforced Grouts (SRGs) … Show more

“…The TRM-to-masonry bond tests have been extensively used for characterization of the bond performance in TRMstrengthened components [1][2][3]6]. A large variety of singlelap and double-lap shear test setups have been used and proposed by different authors.…”

“…Application of textile reinforced mortars (TRMs) for externally bonded reinforcement of existing concrete and masonry structures has recently received a growing attention. The better physical, mechanical and hygrothermal compatibility of TRMs with masonry and concrete, compared to that of conventional fibre reinforced polymers [1][2][3][4] has made these composites the preferred choice for strengthening of those structures.…”
Application of lime-based textile-reinforced mortars (TRMs) for strengthening of masonry structures have received a growing attention in recent years. An extensive effort has been devoted to understanding of the performance of these composites and their effectiveness in improving the seismic safety of existing masonry structures. Nevertheless, several aspects regarding the durability and mechanics of these composites still remain unknown. This letter is an effort on highlighting those aspects considering both experimental and numerical modelling approaches.
