This study introduces a sustainable composite material made of hemp fibers and natural matrix for strengthening masonry structures. Experimental tests are conducted to evaluate the mechanical characteristics and structural performance of the composite material in strengthening masonry arches. The effectiveness of the strengthening is assessed through vertical load tests and tilt tests, comparing the results with unstrengthened masonry arches.
Fiber reinforced composites represent an alternative to traditional techniques for strengthening and retrofitting masonry structures. Within the growing environmental awareness, the development of composite materials to replace conventional synthetic fibers and polymeric matrices has become a crucial issue. In this paper, a novel sustainable composite material consisting in hemp fibers and a natural matrix made of a mix of ground clay bricks and organic binder is proposed. Experimental tests are carried out in order to estimate the mechanical characteristics of the single composite components. The structural performance of polycentric masonry arches strengthened at the extrados first with only natural matrix and then with the bio-composite material (i.e. hemp fibers and biodegradable matrix) is investigated. Single point vertical load tests and tilt tests are carried out in order to assess the effectiveness of the strengthening by comparing the results with those obtained with unstrengthened masonry arches.
