Thus, it is important to conduct efficient seismic strengthening interventions that allow maintenance of the existing building to minimize the environmental and economic impact. The use of reinforced renders is a simple and effective solution for seismic strengthening of this type of constructions. In this paper, several compositions of reinforced renders are analyzed, consisting of mortars with air lime, hydraulic lime, or cement binders, reinforced with steel mesh, fiberglass mesh and a natural fiber mesh. Additionally, the results of diagonal compression tests on three small wall specimens are presented, one of which is non-reinforced and the other two are strengthened with reinforced renders. The results of all tested walls are presented and compared, allowing us to evaluate the efficiency of the reinforced render on the wall shear strength.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/buildings12060840","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,17]],"date-time":"2022-06-17T01:48:12Z","timestamp":1655430492000},"page":"840","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Experimental Evaluation of Brick Masonry Walls Strengthened with TRM (Textile Reinforced Mortar) Renders"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9640-455X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ana Isabel","family":"Marques","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"LNEC, National Laboratory of Civil Engineering, 1700-066 Lisbon, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4041-3841","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jo\u00e3o Gomes","family":"Ferreira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CERIS, Instituto Superior T\u00e9cnico, Universidade de Lisboa, 1049-001 Lisbon, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4873-7979","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paulo","family":"Candeias","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"LNEC, National Laboratory of Civil Engineering, 1700-066 Lisbon, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7135-8603","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria do Ros\u00e1rio","family":"Veiga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"LNEC, National Laboratory of Civil Engineering, 1700-066 Lisbon, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"130","DOI":"10.21809\/rilemtechlett.2019.99","article-title":"Mechanics and durability of textile reinforced mortars: A review of recent advances and open issues","volume":"4","author":"Ghiassi","year":"2019","journal-title":"RILEM Tech.
