In-plane shear behavior of brick masonry walls strengthened with basalt textile-reinforced concrete
Highlights Basalt textile-reinforced concrete (BTRC) was used to improve the in-plane shear performance of masonry walls. Diagonal shear tests were performed on masonry walls strengthened with BTRC. The influence of the addition of short-cut PVA fibers to the BTRC matrix was evaluated. The strengthening effectiveness of BTRC applied to masonry walls built with different mortars was investigated.
Abstract The in-plane shear behavior of the brick masonry walls strengthened with basalt textile-reinforced concrete (BTRC) was mainly investigated. Diagonal shear tests with different strengthening methods and textile layers were performed. Research results show that the BTRC transforms brittle failure of the brick walls into ductile failure, the BTRC and brick wall work well together. Double-sided strengthening is more effective in reinforcing the shear capacity of the masonry walls. The strengthening effect improves with textile layers, especially for double-sided strengthening. Furthermore, the shear strength values calculated by current standard are lower than tests.
