Abstract
In recent years, FRCM systems have become a preferred strengthening system in reinforced concrete structures together with masonry structures. The most important factor in the choice of FRCM as a strengthening system is its compatibility with concrete or masonry substrates. In addition, high fire resistance is an important factor in its preference. The components of FRCM composites are known to have high durability separately. However, the durability of composites, composed of a combination of fabric and matrices is still a matter of no detailed reported knowledge. In this experimental study, the durability properties of FRCM composites with lime matrix reinforced with glass and glass-polypropylene hybrid fabrics were investigated. Composite samples were subjected to tensile and flexural tests before and after freeze thaw cycles. Load-deformation relations were obtained. As a result of the experimental study, the following results can be drawn: Following freeze thaw cycles, reduction in the bending and tensile performances of the biaxial glass fabric reinforced composite samples as well as matrix samples were obtained. A significant decrease of deformation capability was determined for biaxial glass fabric reinforced matrices and plain matrix.
