Abstract
The tests carried out in this study included the mechanical characterisation of all the materials involved, specifically of the mechanical behaviour of the reinforced composite render material, and finally focused on the bonding characteristics between CFRP reinforced render strips and masonry substrates, as well as the anchoring solution for the ends of the strips. The present experimental work is part of a research project to develop an innovative seismic strengthening technique for load-bearing masonry wall buildings.
