Damage-based finite-element modelling of in-plane loaded masonry walls repaired with FRCM

An empirical study of masonry wall repair is presented in the current work. The textile reinforced mortar used for comprises a stainless-steel grid embedded cement matrix. This composite was applied locally and along cracks, on previously damaged unreinforced wall. repaired then subjected to pushover load until its maximal strength reached. Results configurations indicate that recovery, even gain initial stiffness strength, achieved. Finite-element simulations walls were carried out with an innovative approach modelling. main features experimental Unreinforced Masonry Wall reproduced. Finally, generated assess several degrees damage. Using this model, crack patterns investigated effects different are discussed.
