Failure Mode Prediction of Unreinforced Masonry (URM) Walls Retrofitted with Cementitious Textile Reinforced Mortar (TRM)

Fibers, 2023
The brittle failure of unreinforced masonry (URM) walls when subjected to in-plane loads present low shear strength remains a critical issue. The investigation presented in this paper touches on the retrofitting of URM structures with textile-reinforced ...

Experimental Investigation on the Performance of Historical Squat Masonry Walls Strengthened by UHPC and Reinforced Polymer Mortar Layers

Applied Sciences, 2019
Strengthening historical brick masonry walls is important because these walls are major load-bearing members in many architectural heritages. However, historical brick masonry has low elastic modulus and low strength, historical masonry walls are prone ...

Seismic analysis of reinforced concrete buildings with participating masonry infills

Revista IBRACON de Estruturas e Materiais, 2021
In this paper, seismic analyses are performed of a reinforced concrete frame building with participating masonry walls are carried out. The spectral method of the Brazilian code – ABNT 15421:2006 – was used to obtain the lateral seismic loads.

Strengthening of masonry walls with FRP or TRM

Građevinar, 2020
In addition to traditional methods of strengthening shear masonry walls, some newer materials and systems, such as fibre reinforced polymers (FRP) and textile reinforced mortars (TRM), have recently been introduced. The earthquake that occurred in Zagreb

Anisotropy Effect of Masonry on the Behaviour and Bearing Capacity of Masonry Walls

Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2020
Firstly, an updated numerical model for the numerical analysis of planar unreinforced and confined masonry walls is presented. The model can simulate the main nonlinear material effects of masonry and reinforced concrete.

Estimation of shrinkage deformations of masonry by determining cracking of internal building walls/Mūro susitraukimo deformacijų įvertinimas, analizuojant pastatų vidinių sienų supleišėjimą

Journal of Civil Engineering and Management, 2000
In practice a lot of cases are found, that loadbearing masonry walls of buildings are cracked. The main reason of these cracks is reinforced or metal lintel, reinforced concrete floors, waist-band and other elements.

Experimental Research on Seismic Performance of Damaged Brick Walls Strengthened with Embedded Horizontal Steel Bars

Advances in Civil Engineering, 2020
Six brick masonry specimens (two unreinforced specimens, two reinforced specimens, and two specimens reinforced after being damaged), which have different aspect ratios, were tested under low-frequency cyclic loading.

Masonry Columns Confined by Steel Fiber Composite Wraps [PDF]

, 2011
The application of steel fiber reinforced polymer (SRP) as a means of increasing the capacity of masonry columns is investigated in this study. The behavior of 23 solid-brick specimens that are externally wrapped by SRP sheets in low volumetric ratios is

Numerical Verification of Interaction between Masonry with Precast Reinforced Lintel Made of AAC and Reinforced Concrete Confining Elements

Applied Sciences, 2020
This paper describes results of numerical analyses of reinforced lintels made of autoclaved aerated concrete built into unconfined walls and walls confined with reinforced concrete. The combination of the Menétrey–Willam elastic-plastic failure criterion
