Compressive and Shear Behavior of Masonry Reinforced with Ultra-Rapid-Hardening Fiber-Reinforced Mortar (URH-FRM)
Masonry structures are very vulnerable to lateral forces such as earthquakes. In particular, for existing masonry buildings that have not been designed for earthquake resistance, appropriate seismic resistance retrofit is required. In this study, ultra-rapid-hardening fiber-reinforced mortar (URH-FR...

| description | Masonry structures are very vulnerable to lateral forces such as earthquakes. In particular, for existing masonry buildings that have not been designed for earthquake resistance, appropriate seismic resistance retrofit is required. In this study, ultra-rapid-hardening fiber-reinforced mortar (URH-FRM), which has a high ductility, with an ultimate tensile strain of about 0.07, and is an economical and easy-to-construct seismic reinforcing material, was developed. Compressive strength and initial shear strength tests were performed on masonry prisms reinforced with the URH-FRM. As an experimental variable, the reinforcement thickness of the URH-FRM was varied from 10 to 30 mm and the structural performance was compared with specimens reinforced with general mortar and specimens without reinforcement. As a result, the beneficial effect of URH-FRM on the in-plane initial shear strength of horizontal bed joints in masonry prisms was confirmed. In addition, the thicker the URH-FRM reinforcement, the clearer the improvement in ductility through strain hardening. |
