Study on Mechanical Behavior of Masonry Wall in School Building Reinforced by CFRP

Article Preview

Abstract:

CFRP is a new kind of building materials popularly used in structure strengthening. In order to study the reinforcement technique for masonry walls of school buildings, the walls with window opening strengthened by CFRP were studied in the paper. Based on the experiment result, the finite element simulation and theoretical calculation analysis were done to study the mechanical behavior and shear capacity of the wall with window opening reinforced by CFRP. The CFRP pasted at the corner of window opening were proved to be effectively in improving shear capacity of the walls, and simple calculation formulas of shear capacity were provided in the paper, which proved to be accurate.
