A study of the load-carrying capacity of SRG- and SRP-masonry interface: the effect of salt crystallization and width of the composite

In this document, an experimentation on composite materials (Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Matrix FRCM and Fiber Reinforced Polymer FRP) applied on a masonry substrate has been described. 38 Single-lap Shear tests were carried out on steel reinforced specimens with different matrix widths (SRG) and with different types of degradation due to conditioning cycles (SRG, SRP) in order to investigate the failure and transfer mechanisms between the composite and the substrate.
