主 题:glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) reinforce masonry wall
摘 要:This paper presents the results of a test program for flexure reinforcing characteristics of gless fiber-rein forced polymer(GFRP) sheets bonded to masonry beams. A total of eight specimens subjected to monotonic four-point bending were tested up to failure. These specimens were constructed with two different bond patterns. Six of these specimens were reinforced by using GFRP sheets prior to testing, and the remaining two were not reinforced. The test results indicate a significant increase in both load-bearing capacity and ductile performance of the reinforced walls over the unreinforced ones.
