Overview

Investigates shear performance of calcarenite panels strengthened with FRCM, suggesting ideal reinforcement selection.

Key Points

  • Assess the structural behavior of calcarenite masonry panels strengthened with FRCM systems during diagonal compression testing.
  • Conducted diagonal compression tests on calcarenite masonry panels strengthened with two FRCM solutions: glass fibers and carbon fibers.
  • Utilized Digital Image Correlation (DIC) techniques for full-field strain and displacement measurements.
  • Developed a simplified numerical model calibrated with experimental data to simulate mechanical responses.
  • Demonstrated differences in shear strength between glass-fiber and carbon-fiber strengthened panels.
  • Analyzed crack propagation and failure modes influenced by the type of FRCM used.
  • Validated the numerical model against experimental findings for enhanced precision in predicting behavior.
