This paper presents a review of the available literature on the use of externally bonded fiber reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) composites for the strengthening of masonry arches. As a first step, a detailed database of experimental tests on the topic was developed. The analysis of the database allowed evaluating the efficiency of FRCM composites in terms of gain in ductility and load carrying capacity with respect to the unstrengthened specimens and attained failure mode. In addition, influence of parameters as type of fiber, number of layers, and strengthening configuration on the overall behavior of the strengthened arches is also discussed.

Abstract
This paper presents a review of the available literature on the use of externally bonded fiber reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) composites for the strengthening of masonry arches. As a first step, a detailed database of experimental tests on the topic was developed. The analysis of the database allowed evaluating the efficiency of FRCM composites in terms of gain in ductility and load carrying capacity with respect to the unstrengthened specimens and attained failure mode. In addition, influence of parameters as type of fiber, number of layers, and strengthening configuration on the overall behavior of the strengthened arches is also discussed.Pubblicazioni consigliate
