SUMMARY
The demand for reinforcing systems for existing structures has increased trough year due to the ageing of the buildings and the raising of safety standards requested. Apart from the composition of the cementitious matrix and of fibres, the mechanical performances of FRCM systems and the failure modes might be influenced by several parameters as, for instance, the grain size of mortar, the presence of organic additives in mix, the fabric typology, the bundle geometry, coatings etc. Indeed, all these parameters might affect the chemical and mechanical adhesion between the cementitious matrix and the fibre . . .
