- Abstract:
- Composite Reinforced Mortar (CRM) is an advantageous system for the upgrade of existing structures and is particularly suitable for architectural heritage. Despite the acknowledged importance of continuous structural health monitoring (SHM), effective technologies have not been developed yet for CRM-strengthened buildings. This paper describes a preliminary investigation on a novel system, which integrates CRM with Fibre Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors. Direct tensile tests were carried out as the first step of a wider prototype development programme. Strains measured by FBG sensors were validated against those provided by Digital Image Correlation, showing the reliability of the proposed CRM-FBG integrated system for combined strengthening and SHM purposes.
