Abstract:
Due to the long service period and irregularities in construction, a large amount of existing brick masonry structures around the world have been deteriorated in performance, which are in urgent need of reinforcement measures. Ultra-high performance engineered cementitious composite (UHPECC) is a promising material to the rehabilitation of existing brick wall, where, the mechanical properties of interface is essential to the reinforcement. In this study, the bonding behavior of interface between UHPECC and existing brick walls was investigated by double-sided shear test, and the influence of joint depth on shearing performance was analyzed by experiment and numerical simulation. The results show that the interfacial shear strength between UHPECC and existing-brick wall is increased with the increment of UHPECC joint depth. The shearing load-displacement curve generally includes initial stage, elastic stage and plastic stage, where, the specimen H0 only undergoes an elastic stage, H5 has no plastic stage, and the H15 and H25 have comparable load evolution curves. The optimal joint depth for UHPECC reinforced brick wall is 15 mm. The established model is reliable to simulate the interfacial shear performance of UHPECC reinforced brick wall. Due to the redistribution, the shear stress is mainly concentrated near the joint, which is obvious with the increasing of UHPECC joint depth. Based on the experimental and numerical simulation, a relationship of interfacial shear strength and UHPECC joint depth is proposed.
