Abstract

This research proposes the use of a basalt textile-reinforced mortar (TRM) system as an overlay to strengthen brick masonry. A comparison of the strength performances, namely, the compressive strength, flexural bond strength, and shear bond strength, between unreinforced brick assembly and basalt TRM-reinforced brick assembly was made. The reinforced specimens exhibited improved strength performance, in particular, the flexural bond and shear bond strengths whereby more than a two-fold increase was observed. Additionally, the coefficient of variations in the compressive and flexural bond strength of brick assemblies was reduced when reinforced with the basalt TRM.
