Summary

Studies at various levels on the use of fibre-reinforced plastic (FRP) as strengthening materials have been numerous, but only few of them concern the case of soft stone masonry panels strengthened with FRP applied in cross pattern.

Closed-form expressions for cross layout have been recently addressed by Prota et al. [1] and Zhao et al. [2]. However, experimental and analytical investigations are still lacking and no design rules have been provided in the recent guidelines CNR DT 200/2004 [3] or ACI 2008 [4] for FRP cross configurations.

The aim of this paper is to develop further knowledge concerning the in-plane shear capacity of masonry panels strengthened with FRP cross layouts. On the basis of the experimental data available in the literature [5], the work presents a quantitative evaluation of FRP and masonry contributions to the shear strength of the strengthened panels, in accordance with a strut-and-tie approach. Relevant information are provided concerning experimental force-displacement relationships and intermediate FRP debonding strains for panels strengthened with CFRP and GFRP, both with low and high density. Finally, a critical comparison between the experimental masonry shear strength and that predicted with analytical models suggested by the Italian code NTC 08 [6] and the CNRDT 200/2004 guideline is presented.
