Bond Behavior of Near-Surface Mounted FRP Strips Bonded to Modern Clay Brick Masonry Prisms: Influence of Strip Orientation and Compression Perpendicular to the Strip
Source abstract
Abstract
In this paper the results of 18 pull tests performed on clay brick masonry prisms strengthened with near-surface mounted carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) strips are presented. The pull tests were designed to add to the existing database and investigate variables significant to masonry construction. FRP was bonded to solid clay brick masonry; FRP aligned both perpendicular and parallel to the bed joint; and in the case of FRP reinforcement aligned parallel to the bed joint, compression applied perpendicular to the strip was used to simulate vertical compression load in masonry walls. Results including bond strength, critical bond length, and the local bond-slip relationship are presented as well as a discussion on the effect of the new variables on these results.
