| Abstract |
It has been proved through past earthquake experiences that unreinforced masonry (URM) structures are not able to resist seismic loads and in order to reduce the serious damages caused by earthquakes,... they should be considered for retrofitting. In-plane shear failure of load bearing walls is known as one of the dominant collapse causes of masonry structures. Fiber reinforced polymers (FRP) is known as the material with high tensile strength and light weight. Capability of FRP products for the retrofitting of different structure types is being investigated widely around world. In this study, application of aramid fiber reinforced polymer (AFRP) sheet on the unreinforced masonry specimens as a strengthening solution was examined and the impact on their shear behavior was investigated through a series of diagonal compression tests. It was found out that AFRP sheet has considerable beneficial effect on the shear strength and deformation capacity of URM specimens.show more
