Abstract

This study explores the result of an experimental investigation for enhancing shear strength of masonry wall, strengthened with Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) strips. Total 18 numbers of specimens were casted. Out of this 9 specimens were tested for standard condition and 9 were for deteriorated condition in that three were tested with CFRP wrapping respectively. The dimensions of all masonry wall panels are kept same throughout the experiment. Experiments are conducted to study the shear strength of masonry walls with and without FRP using local available materials. For the experiment shear compression test was conducted. Deterioration of the specimens is done by using solutions of calcium chloride (CaCl2) with 3 molal ion concentrations. The experimental results demonstrated that the use of CFRP composite strips increases the shear strength of the masonry wall significantly by preventing the debonding of CFRP sheets, so that the full strength of the CFRP sheets get utilized.
