Abstract

Sustainability goals are essential driving principles for the development of innovative materials in the construction industry. Natural fibres represent an attractive alternative as reinforcing material due to both good mechanical properties and sustainability prerequisites. The present work investigates the shear behaviour of masonry panels strengthened with a mortar-based system reinforced with an innovative hemp fibre composite grid. The objective of the study is to assess the feasibility of using the proposed strengthening system for external retrofit of existing masonry walls and to compare its performances with typical retrofitting solutions. © 2015 Elsevier Ltd.
