Shear strengthening masonry panels with sheet glass-fiber reinforced polymer
Masonry strengthening is of particular interest in countries prone to seismic activity, but is also of benefit where masonry structures require repair, or a change in use requires structural upgrade. This paper investigates strengthening masonry walls using glass-fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) sheets. Both clay and concrete brick specimens were tested. The research (with fibers orientated parallel to the masonry joints) has shown that sheet FRP strengthening increases the load capacity of masonry subjected to in-plane shear loading. The strengthened masonry includes brittle components (the FRP and the masonry-FRP interface) failure of the test specimens is characterized by brittle failure across the interface. If premature failure of the FRP strengthening is avoided, a ductile failure occurs within the masonry joints. If ultimate-limit-state design is based on debonded FRP, the adhesive used to apply the FRP to the masonry need not be strong. The adhesive should be selected for its strain capacity rather than its strength. This may allow the use of an adhesive that does not burn and produce toxic fumes.
