| Resumo: | Recent research on the mechanical characterisation of Steel Reinforced Grout (SRG) has highlighted its excellent performance as strengthening solutions for masonry structures. Using SRG with limited fabric density ensures a good textile-matrix interlocking, preventing at the same time the failure due to slippage or debonding from the substrate. This paper presents an experimental investigation on the use of SRG as in-plane strengthening solution for shear masonry walls composed of handmade solid clay brick and hydraulic lime mortar. Cyclic shear compression tests were carried out on walls strengthened with SRG comprising low density steel sheets (LDS). The SRG was applied on both faces of the walls with a strip configuration, using one and two layers of LDS. The experimental programme aimed to study the influence of the number of textile layers on the in-plane response of strengthened masonry walls in terms of failure mechanism, load-bearing capacity, energy dissipation, and ductility. |
