Strengthening of compressed brick masonry walls with carbon composites
Highlights Experimental research of FRP strengthened brick masonry walls was carried out. Carbon (CFRP) fabrics were used for strengthening. The walls were strengthened by externally bonded and near surface mounted reinforcement. Research has proven problematic effectiveness of masonry walls’ strengthening by FRP strips. Failure mechanism has decisive influence on determination of load-bearing capacity.
Abstract In the case of masonry walls reinforced with surface-applied non-prestressed composite strips, experimental research has proved that the reinforcing effect is not unambiguously and expressly positive, unlike the confinement effect of concentrically compressed columns. The paper presents newly obtained findings about the behaviour of brick masonry walls under static loads in their degradation phase in relation to their stabilisation and reinforcement with composites. The analysis is based on the comparison of brick masonry walls with different types of reinforcement. The results of experimental research and their analysis pointed out a series of still open questions concerning the behaviour of masonry in the degradation phase of its mechanical properties.
