Using of carbon fiber fabric for reinforcement the walls of the aerated concrete blocks in buildings, constructed in seismic regions

Abstract

We conducted experimental investigation of the strength masonry of aerated concrete blocks, reinforced by carbon fiber fabric. Reviewed various schemes of reinforcement. A comparison of the strength of non - reinforced walls with walls reinforced by carbon fiber are shown. Were carried out the tests of prototypes fragments of walls and the walls in life-size on the static and dynamic loads. According to the results of tests are given recommendations on the use of walls, reinforced by carbon fiber in seismic regions of Russia.
