This book is intended to raise awareness about the use of
sustainable Textile-Reinforced Mortar (TRM) composite systems,
including plant fibers, for civil engineering applications. It
presents a comprehensive characterization of the mechanical
properties of Flax-TRM composite systems when used for
strengthening masonry elements. Moreover, it reports on a physical
and mechanical characterization of the single components, such as
the textile and mortar one. In turn, it describes tensile tests on
the composite and shear bond tests on Flax-TRM-to-masonry substrate
elements, carried out for the purpose of analyzing the composite
material and its adherence behavior with a brick masonry element.
It also reports on the analysis of the contribution of the
reinforcement system on the shear capacity of masonry elements,
carried out via diagonal compression tests. Last but not least, the
book reports on some innovative solutions for improving the
mechanical performance of the reinforcement system, e.g., by
treating the fiber or modifying the matrix mix design, discussing
the experimental findings in detail. All in all, this book offers
extensive information on the use of plant fibers as reinforcement
in TRM systems, specifically highlighting the potential of this
composite as strengthening strategy for various civil engineering
applications. Moreover, it defines key mechanical aspects of the
composite that must be taken into consideration for increasing the
efficiency of the reinforcing system. Last but not least, the book
describes some technical solutions aimed at an overall improvement
of the structural performance of sustainable textile-reinforced
composite.
