Abstract: This study focuses on the potential of Textile Reinforced Cementitious (TRC) composites with alkali-resistant glass textile to reinforce masonry structures. In particular, a better identification of the debonding mechanisms is a crucial point for a more efficient use of these composites. Twelve single-lap shear bond tests are performed to investigate four strengthening configurations - two matrices and two reinforcement ratios. This paper discusses the applicability of acoustic emission to assess the damage state of TRC during adherence testing. The flexibility of the matrix used and the amount of reinforcement of the TRC affect the cumulative amplitude distributions. The accumulation of the partial frequency associated with high frequency (above 400 kHz) is a precursor of a strong contribution of the textile in the load transfer.
