In Situ Shear Tests on Masonry Panels Strengthened with Fiber-Reinforced Mortar Repointing
In this paper the effect of joints structural repointing on single-wythe brickwork masonry using a fiber-reinforced mortar is investigated. Changes in shear strength are evaluated by in-situ tests carried out both on unreinforced and reinforced masonry specimens. The masonry joint shear strength, according to the standard ASTM C 1513, gives local information, while diagonal compression tests provides information on the global masonry shear response. The comparison highlights a good performance in both local and global masonry response, where the shear strength increases.
