Experimental Behaviour of Historic Masonry Walls Under Compression and Shear Loading
In recent years, the strengthening of masonry walls with external bonded (EB) fiber reinforced polymers (FRPs) has been increased to give a tensile capacity to masonry that it is normally weak to tensile stress. Many aspects of this strengthening method are not yet thoroughly known: in particular, the debonding mechanism of FRP strips needs to be analyzed more through experimental data. The primary object of this work was to investigate the structural behavior and the shear strength of single-story shear walls built with historic solid clay bricks in scale 1/3rd under in-plane loading. Numerical analysis of unreinforced brickwork wall has been done using a nonlinear method. Further, the two brickwork walls were strengthened and tested under combined compression and cyclic shear loading: one was strengthened with diagonal EB Glass-FRP strips and then once again subjected to the same loading until failure; another one was strengthened with GFRP strips parallel to shear force. The responses of the unreinforced and reinforced walls are presented, and the failure mechanisms are discussed considering the delamination failure of the GFRP.
