Abstract:
In this paper, authors draw information from previous work aiming at contributing to: (i) a summary of the existing knowledge on the mechanical performance of TRM/TRC systems under elevated temperatures and fire conditions; and (ii) highlighting the most important issues of testing procedures and protocols. The paper refers to both TRM- and TRC-related data. The former include experimental assessments of the: (a) TRM-to-substrate residual bond characteristics as a function of temperature; and (b) structural performance of fired masonry elements furnished with a new type of TRM-based overlay for combined structural and energy upgrading. TRC-related data focus on the structural degradation of thin TRC plates under both standard and non-standard fire conditions.
