Use of textile fibres in the reinforcement of a gypsum-cork based composite mat...
Vasconcelos, Graça; Camões, Aires; Fangueiro, Raúl; Vila-Chã, Nuno; Jesus, Carlos M. G.; Cunha, Fernando Eduardo MacedoThe study presented herein focus on the analysis of a series of experimental tests aiming at characterizing the performance of distinct textile fibers acting as a reinforcement of a gypsum-cork composite material. Two groups of textile fibers were selected, namely synthetic fibers (glass and basalt) and natural fibers (banana and sisal). The reinforced composite material was submitted to distinct types of loadi...
Flexural behaviour of brick masonry retrofitted with braided textile meshes
Vasconcelos, Graça; Mora, Juan; Fangueiro, Raúl; Cunha, Fernando Eduardo Macedo; Martins, AndreiaThe vulnerability of unreinforced masonry walls (URM) under seismic events, causing huge loss of money and human lives, has revealed the enormous need for an efficient strengthening material. In this context, the present paper reports the development of a new reinforcing material for masonry walls based on braided fibrous structures. These fibrous materials were developed through braiding of polyester yarns aro...
Retrofitting masonry infill walls with textile reinforced mortar
Vasconcelos, Graça; Fangueiro, Raúl; Cunha, Fernando Eduardo Macedo; Abreu, S.The vulnerability of unreinforced masonry walls (URM) under seismic events, causing huge loss of money and human lives, has revealed the enormous need for an efficient strengthening material.

A brief overview on the retrofitting possibilities of masonry infill walls
Fangueiro, Raúl; Cunha, Fernando Eduardo Macedo; Vasconcelos, Graça; Abreu, S.This work presents a brief review on the seismic behavior on non-loadbearing masonry walls used as masonry infills. O Some examples of inefficient performance are shown based on information available of recent earthquakes. Additionally, a literature overview on the techniques for retrofitting existing masonry infills is provided. Finally, alternative braided reinforced composite materials are briefly described ...
