Textile Reinforced Concrete (TRC) has gained worldwide popularity as a strengthening material for masonry structures in the recent years. As of today, the application of TRC for masonry strengthening is either by cast-in-place methodology or by spraying method. The present work is a first-of-its kind study, which explores the feasibility of using externally bonded precast TRC laminate for strengthening of load bearing brick masonry wall panels. The binder used in TRC itself is used as adhesive for adhering the TRC laminate to masonry wall panels. Experimental investigations were carried out on unstrengthened and strengthened brick masonry wall panels under axial compression and combined axial compression and shear loading. The influence of TRC strengthening system is assessed by examining the performance indicators such as strength, stiffness and deformation. Based on the investigations, the use of externally bonded precast TRC laminate is found to be a feasible solution to strengthen brick masonry walls to have the required structural adequacy.

用外部粘结的预制纤维增强混凝土层压板加强承重砌体墙板

近年来，纺织增强混凝土（TRC）作为砖石结构的增强材料已在世界范围内普及。迄今为止，TRC在砌体加固中的应用是通过现浇法或喷涂法进行的。当前的工作是首次研究，它探索了使用外部粘结的预制TRC层压板来增强承重砖砌墙板的可行性。TRC本身使用的粘合剂用作将TRC层压板粘合到砌筑墙板上的粘合剂。对未加强和加固的砖石砌体墙板在轴向压缩以及轴向压缩和剪力共同作用下进行了实验研究。通过检查性能指标（例如强度，刚度和变形。根据调查，发现使用外部粘结的预制TRC层压板是一种可行的解决方案，可用来加固砖砌体墙以具有所需的结构性。
