New formulation for predicting diagonal tension capacity of masonry brick walls strengthened with textile reinforced mortar (TRM)

In this paper, a new analytical model for evaluating the in-plane shear capacity of strengthened clay brick masonry walls using textile reinforced mortar is proposed. The accuracy of the proposed model is calibrated with the experimental data. The thickness of masonry wall, the thickness of reinforc...

Description
Summary:In this paper, a new analytical model for evaluating the in-plane shear capacity of strengthened clay brick masonry walls using textile reinforced mortar is proposed. The accuracy of the proposed model is calibrated with the experimental data. The thickness of masonry wall, the thickness of reinforcement layer, the number of reinforcement layers on each sides of the specimen (fiber percentage), reinforcement configuration (strengthening on one side or both sides of the specimen), and the type of textile reinforcements (alkali resistant-glass textiles or carbon textiles) are the major parameters in the experimental investigations that are considered in the proposed model. The presented analytical model could show a reasonable agreement with the experimental results.
