Textile Reinforced Mortar/masonry joints under reverse cyclic in-plane shear
Highlights Failure mode is affected by Bond Length of the TRM overlay and not by loading type. Reverse cyclic loading reduces shear bond strength by <20%. Residual stiffness at each consecutive loading cycle dependents on the bond length.
Abstract This study investigates for the first time the effect of reverse cyclic loading on the shear bond capacity of Textile Reinforced Mortar (TRM)/masonry joints. The single-lap/single-prism set-up was adopted for monotonic tests, whereas a modified version thereof was developed for reverse cyclic tests making use of a single piston. Specimens comprised wallettes reinforced with glass fiber TRM overlays of various bond lengths (BL = 250–50 mm, step = 50 mm). Reverse cyclic loading: (i) bore no effect on the joints’ failure modes; (ii) resulted in a reduction of the shear bond strength by <20%.
