Structural Performances of Clay Brick Masonry Columns Partially Confined with FRCM/SRG Composites

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper refers to the results of an experimental investigation on partially FRCM confined clay brick masonry. Seven small-scale masonry columns (square cross-section 250x250 mm, overall height 770 mm) were tested under monotonic centred load until collapse. The confining system (basalt-FRCM, SRG) and the number of the confining layers (i.e., 1, 2, and 3) were the varied parameters. Failure modes, load-displacements curves (both axial and transversal) and peak loads were reported and discussed in the paper. The performed research aims to contribute to the knowledge in the field of FRCM/SRG-confinement, mainly focusing on the influence of some of the mentioned parameters. The obtained results could be considered for the validation or the improvement of analytical design-oriented formulas.
