Fabric Reinforced Cementitious Matrix

AbstractFabric reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) composites, also known as textile reinforced mortars (TRM), an inorganic matrix constituting fibre fabrics and cement-based mortar, are becoming a widely used composite material in Europe for upgrading the seismic resistance of existing reinforced concrete (RC) frame buildings. One way of providing seismic resistance upgrading is through the application of the proposed FRCM system on existing masonry infill walls to increase their stiffness and integrity. To examine the effectiveness of this application, the bond characteristics achieved between (a) the matrix and the masonry substrate and (b) the fabric and the matrix need to be determined. A series of experiments including 23 material performance tests, 15 direct tensile tests of dry fabric and composites, and 30 shear bond tests between the matrix and brick masonry, were carried out to investigate the fabric-to-matrix and matrix-to-substrate bond behaviour. In addition, different arrangements of extruded polystyrene (XPS) plates were applied to the FRCM to test the shear bond capacity of this insulation system when used on a large-scale wall.

Fabric Reinforced Cementitious Matrix

The shear behavior of masonry strengthened with natural fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (NFRCM-strengthened masonry) is investigated through two different numerical models: a multi-layer model considering masonry and reinforcement as different materials and a multi-step homogenized model, where reinforced masonry is considered as a whole. The approaches are compared by performing nonlinear numerical pushover analysis with an increasing shear action applied to the panels. The parametric analysis shows the capacity and limits of both continuous diffused models – defined as a multi-or a single layer - to represent reinforced masonry in-plane behavior.
