Influence of Matrix and Cohesive Material Law Characteristics on the Tensile and Bond Behavior of FRCM Systems
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This study proposes numerical modeling of fiber-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) composite systems in direct shear (DST) or tensile (DTT) tests with any setup. In the interfacial fracture theory framework, the nonlinear ...
Structural Behavior of Arch Models Strengthened Using Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Strips of Different Lengths
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The authors address the structural behavior of masonry arches strengthened through carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) strips at intrados or extrados surfaces and subjected to horizontal forces. The paper reports and ...
Experimental Study of Bond Behavior of CFRP-to-Brick Joints
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite materials have been widely used to strengthen masonry constructions. The bond between CFRP and substrate strongly conditions the performance of reinforced masonry structures. ...
Experimental Investigation on Bond Behavior of Cement-Matrix–Based Composites for Strengthening of Masonry Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Fabric-reinforced cementitious matrices have raised a great interest for the external strengthening of historical masonries, representing a valid alternative to fiber-reinforced polymers. As the effectiveness of an external ...
Experimental and Analytical Investigations on Bond Behavior of Basalt-FRCM Systems
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The results of an experimental investigation into the behavior of fiber-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) composites made of basalt textile coupled to different inorganic matrices are presented and compared. Single- ...
