Abstract

Compressive strength is one of the key factors influencing the behavior of brick masonry. Various traditional techniques can be used to increase the strength, stiffness, and ductility of unreinforced brick masonry. However, considerable mass and thickness will be added to the original structural element as a result of both aesthetics and economy will be affected. In this study behavior of brick masonry prisms confined with glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) has been investigated. Various patterns of wrapping were adopted using Polyester resin. Maximum Compressive strength & ultimate strain of GFRP confined prisms were compared with unreinforced prisms. Results obtained show a substantial increase in compressive strength of prisms when confined with GFRP - polyester and GFRP - Epoxy.
