Abstract
This comprehensive study looks into the transformative potential of carbon fiber
reinforced polymer (CFRP) materials in brickwork rehabilitation. It reveals the
remarkable mechanical properties, performance benefits, and innovative applications
of CFRP reinforcements through an in-depth literature review. Fiber reinforced
polymer (FRP) is used to reinforce masonry walls, slabs, beams, and columns, among
other structural elements. The results shed light on their ability to increase load-bearing
capacity, reduce cracking, stiffen, and ensure long-term durability. This study paves the
way for future research by identifying key research gaps, while also highlighting the
invaluable insights it provides practitioners and researchers alike. This study represents
a significant step forward in the conservation and revitalization of historic and
weathered brick masonry structures using methodologies. Columns, for example, can
be strengthened by FRP outer wrapping or embedding them in a FRP stabilization
system. Externally bonded FRP gives the column passive restraint, improves axial
stiffness, reduces lateral expansion for given load levels, and allows the column to
achieve higher stress and deformation levels than unwrapped columns.
