Double lap shear test on steel fabric reinforced cementitious matrix (SFRCM)

For some specimens, the slip profile and the slip distribution have been analysed and split into the substrate laminate slip and inner laminate layers slip. This distinction has been used as a measure of the fabric-matrix compatibility. In addition, the effect induced by the rigid blocks rotation occurred during the DLT has been argued. The DIC optical system monitoring has been used to asses both the force-slip distribution and the crack opening displacement (COD).
