Fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) composites often include polymer-impregnated bundles to improve the exploitation of the textile mechanical properties. However, organic components may degrade when exposed to elevated temperature. In this paper, the bond behavior of a carbon FRCM applied to a masonry substrate and exposed to a thermal preconditioning up to 300 °C for 250 min is investigated. Tensile tests on the textile and flexural and compression tests on the mortar matrix, as well as single-lap direct shear tests of FRCM-masonry joints with bare and impregnated textiles, are performed. Results show that the polymeric impregnation improves the mechanical properties of the FRCM even after thermal preconditioning.

Abstract
Fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) composites often include polymer-impregnated bundles to improve the exploitation of the textile mechanical properties. However, organic components may degrade when exposed to elevated temperature. In this paper, the bond behavior of a carbon FRCM applied to a masonry substrate and exposed to a thermal preconditioning up to 300 °C for 250 min is investigated. Tensile tests on the textile and flexural and compression tests on the mortar matrix, as well as single-lap direct shear tests of FRCM-masonry joints with bare and impregnated textiles, are performed. Results show that the polymeric impregnation improves the mechanical properties of the FRCM even after thermal preconditioning.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
