Abstract

The need to guarantee higher safety levels of masonry structures under both short and long term conditions, have led to the use of new materials and technologies, in conjunction or in place of traditional ones. In this context, fiber-reinforced composite materials have gained an increasing success, mostly for strengthening, retrofitting and repair existing structures. As well known, the analysis of the interface performance of FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer) composites and masonry substrate is a critical problem as it influences the effectiveness of the technique. The present paper reports part of a large research project, still in progress, focused on the analysis of the bond performance between FRP sheet and different type of masonry substrates. The obtained experimental data were analysed in terms of bond strength and the kind of failure. The influence of the deformability of the strengthening material as well as the mechanical performance of the substrates are also discussed.
