| Abstract: | This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation on a steel-reinforced polyurethane (SRPU) composite system with a mineral interlayer, designed for the protection of existing structures. The composite SRPU was reinforced with unidirectional steel textile embedded in polyurethane matrix PS. In the study, SRPU was applied to a brick substrate via a layer of lime- or cement-based mortar of a thickness of 3 mm, 6 mm, or 10 mm. Single-lap shear tests (SLSTs) were carried out on specimens with and without a mortar interlayer. The reference specimens without a mineral interlayer carried higher loads than the specimens with an interlayer. An increase in the interlayer thickness reduced the shear bond strength. The stiffness of the bond under shear of the tested systems was unaffected by the presence of the mineral interlayer. The mechanical properties of the applied mortars influenced the observed failure modes. The tested SRPU system demonstrated notable efficiency in monotonic testing, outperforming previously reported results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
