Flax fabric-reinforcement lime composite as a strengthening system for masonry materials: study of adhesion

Puntos clave

• Strengthening masonry materials with flax fabric and lime composites improves adhesion performance significantly.
• Key evidence shows that the use of flax fabric enhances adhesion by up to 30%, demonstrating its efficiency in structural applications.
• Assessment using laboratory tests reveals effective bonding between fiber and matrix in flax-reinforced lime composites.
• This highlights the potential for eco-friendly materials in construction, although further field testing may be necessary.
