Structural Behavior of Small-Scale Masonry Panel with Fiber Reinforced Mortar under Compressive Load

Abstract:

The use of fiber reinforced mortar for structural retrofitting/new construction of masonry structures has become increasingly popular in the last years. A preliminary study on the mechanical performances under compression of masonry panels is performed by selecting three different mortar types. The panels were composed of mortar and clay bricks; the mortars adopted are the following: i) commercial type mortar, ii) traditional mortar and iii) traditional mortar with the addition of a cellulose-based industrial non-hazardous waste. In particular, the study proposes the use of deink paper sludge as mortar filler as an example of sustainable end-of-life reuse. Using the collected experimental results involving the mortars and clay brick form a regression analysis on compressive strengths was performed in order to evaluate the influence of the deink paper sludge on the compressive behavior of the panel.
