Resumen

The reinforcement of concrete structures using FRCM is a rather novelty approach that overcomes some of the drawbacks of organic composites such as carbon fiber CFRP. Moreover, the use of vegetal fabrics has a direct effect on the carbon footprint. Some calculations deal with a full composite action between the matrix and the fibers. Nevertheless, it has been noticed that sometimes the chemical and mechanical adherence between the cementitious matrix and the vegetal fabric does not perform as a perfect bond, and it is necessary to take into account that the matrix?fiber bond is weak. This research provides insight into the limits of the strength for these situations. Partial interaction allows the composite to strengthen with larger deformation while maintaining an interesting ultimate capacity. The characterization of this type of performance may help to design resilient solutions for concrete structures under critical bonding situations produced by ambient or manufacturing reasons.
