Textile reinforced mortars (TRM) for repairing and retrofitting masonry walls subjected to in-plane cyclic loads. An experimental approach

Engineering structures, 2021
Masonry walls exhibit low tensile strength and high material heterogeneity, which makes them especially vulnerable against cyclic loading conditions, such as those typical in earthquakes.

In-plane shear cyclic behavior of windowed masonry walls reinforced with textile reinforced mortars

, 2021
The current experimental study is focused on the mechanical performance of masonry walls under in-plane cyclic shear forces. All specimens were fabricated with a central window, in which the geometry considered the recommendations of the Spanish ...

Strengthening of unreinforced masonry walls against out-of-plane loads using carbon textile reinforced mortar optimized by short PVA fibers

Engineering structures, 2021
Textile reinforced mortar (TRM) is a potential substitute for fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) and exhibits multi-cracking and strain-hardening behaviors under tensile loads. In this work, short polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibers were added into the TRM matrix

Experimental investigation on the in-plane seismic performance of damaged masonry walls repaired with grout-injected ferrocement overlay

, 2021
This experimental study compares two scaled unreinforced masonry (URM) walls before and after being repaired by grout-injected ferrocement overlay reinforcement (GFOR), with the aim of investigating the effectiveness of an alternative ferrocement overlay

Experimental behavior of injected geopolymer grout using styrene-butadiene latex for the repair and strengthening of masonry walls

, 2021
Unreinforced masonry buildings in the historic centers of the world have often been overlooked for centuries without any protection. These buildings demonstrate low resistance under external effects, especially against earthquakes.
