Shear strengthening of masonry walls with Textile Reinforced Mortars (TRM) under high temperature exposure

The behavior of masonry walls strengthened with Textile Reinforced Mortars (TRM) is a topic that has received considerable attention from researchers in recent years. However, the response such elements after exposure to high temperature an issue remains be explored extensively. This study analyzes TRM-strengthened brick panels glass and carbon fiber meshes subjected temperatures up 600 °C, subsequently tested under diagonal compression. reinforcements were applied before or exposure, analyze effectiveness damaged undamaged TRMs, thus simulating different scenarios might occur real building fire event. In general terms, results showed TRMs fibers exhibited better these conditions, restoring their original capacity providing additional ductility, whilst seemed more affected by temperature. Finally, experimental are here compared predictions available design guides, order assess accuracy codes would provide circumstances.
