Eight medium scale reinforced masonry walls were built as a part of this study. These reinforced walls were strengthened using carbon fiber reinforced polymer [FRP] (bars and tapes) and glass FRP (bars) using a near surface mounted technique (NSM) with cementitious material; constant mild steel reinforcement ratio (ρ) was used. These strengthened walls were supported as a simply supported wall under an out-of-plane cyclic load applied along two line loads. This study presented the effect of different parameters, these parameters related to FRP (type and amount), bond pattern (stack and running), and existing of FRP in compression face of the walls. This paper reveals the relation between these factors and the out-of-plane capacity of the reinforced wall strengthened with FRP. Different modes of failure occurred in the strengthened reinforced walls, including a punching shear failure through the concrete block, crushing of concrete block and debonding of FRP reinforcement from the masonry substrate.

This paper presents the study to find retrofit effect in case of Near-Surface-Mounted Retrofit (NSMR) using Carbon Fiber Reinforcement Polymer (CFRP) plate targeting reinforcement concrete (RC) beam by comparing the previous Externally Bonded Retrofit (EBR) method through experimental analytical works. Three RC beam specimens were made and two of them were retrofitted with CFRP plate by using EBR and NSMR. Also Finite Element (FE) analysis was performed in order to simulate the structural behavior of the beams by considering the bond properties between concrete and CFRP. From the study, it was found that the beam retrofitted with EBR hada reduction of bond capacity in the joint while the beam retrofitted with NSMR had perfect bond capacity.

Space Requirements

The externally bonded (EB) carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP), near-surface-mounted (NSM) CFRP and the prestressed steel wire ropes (P-SWRs) has been proven to be feasible and reliable flexural strengthening methods for concrete structures. However, debonding issues in EB CFRP sheets (or NSM CFRP bars) and space requirements for edge and spacing clearance of NSM CFRP bars (or P-SWRs) has limited the application of these three strengthening techniques. Therefore, the combinations of these methods need to be investigated and clarified. In this paper, experimental investigations on the flexural performances of seven concrete beams are presented, in which three of the beams were separately strengthened with EB CFRP sheets, NSM CFRP bars, and P-SWRs, respectively, and three of the beams were combinedly strengthened with two of the three techniques. Test results demonstrated that the flexural performances of beams strengthened with the combination with EB CFRP sheets, NSM CFRP bars, and P-SWRs are between the flexural performances of the beams strengthened with the corresponding individual strengthening techniques. It is found that the P-SWRs is favorable for combinations. In case the P-SWRs was combined with EB CFRP sheets or NSM CFRP bars for strengthening, the cracking load was increased to more than 230% and the maximum ultimate load-bearing capacity was increased to 150% when compared with the control beam. The debonding which occurred more or less in the beams strengthened with EB CFRP sheets or NSM CFRP bars or their combination was successfully eliminated by using the combination strengthening technique with P-SWRs. Also, the combination of P-SWRs with EB CFRP sheets or NSM CFRP bars is also favorable to improve the ductility of strengthened beams.

Near surface mounted (NSM) carbon fibers reinforced polymer (CFRP) reinforcement is one of the techniques for reinforcing masonry structures and is considered to provide significant advantages. This paper is composed of two parts. The first part presents the experimental study of brick masonry walls reinforced with NSM CFRP strips under combined shear-compression loads. Masonry walls have been tested under vertical compression, with different bed joint orientations 90° and 45° relative to the loading direction. Different reinforcement orientations were used including vertical, horizontal, and a combination of both sides of the wall. The second part of this paper comprises a numerical analysis of unreinforced brick masonry (URM) walls using the detailed micro-modelling approach (DMM) by means of ABAQUS software. In this analysis, the non-linearity behavior of brick and mortar was simulated using the concrete damaged plasticity (CDP) constitutive laws. The results proved that the application of the NSM-CFRP strips on the masonry wall influences significantly strength, ductility, and post-peak behavior, as well as changing the failure modes. The adopted DMM model provides a good interface to predict the post peak behavior and failure mode of unreinforced brick masonry walls.
