Concept, Prototyping and Application of a Tensioning System for FRP Ties into Masonry Structures

Abstract:

The present paper deals with concept, prototyping and application of a tensioning system for FRP ties into masonry structures. The proposed system, based on the use of FRP strands instead of traditional steel ties, has the aim to produce a compression stress state on masonry walls where it is applied. Given the objective difficulty in tensioning a FRP strand, it was necessary to both characterize and prototype a suitable connection system between the strand and the pulling system. The experimental phase concerned both the manufacturing of the pulling system and the study of used materials, as well as the characterization of the impregnation technology of FRP ties. The above described system has been produced and used in the framework of the structural retrofitting of the “Real Albergo dei Poveri” building in Naples.
