Experimental Investigation of Masonry Arches Strengthened with Carbon Fiber Composites CFRP
This study is a part of a full experimental program intended to contribute to the understanding of the structural behavior of masonry arches before and after being strengthened with FRP composite materials. The work involved constructing two sets of masonry arch models and loading them to failure by applying single-point loads at the quarter span. The research presents results and conclusions regarding the structural response, load-carrying capacity improving, and mode of failure for the un-strengthened and strengthened arches. A significant increase of load-carrying capacity was evident for the strengthened arches when compared with un-strengthened arches; the value exceeded the double. The corresponding displacements were evidently affected. The most affected displacements were the displacements corresponding with the upward zone. The upward displacement decreased about five times in the strengthened arches when compared with the displacements of the same locations in the un-strengthened arches. One of the most important results gained was the load–displacement curves which were clearly affected by CFRP applying in values and shapes.
