== Abstract ==

Fabric-reinforced cementitious matrices (FCRMs) are promising composite materials for the retrofitting and reinforcement of existing structures. In this study, vegetal meshes consisting of hemp and cotton coated with epoxy were manufactured and combined with a cementitious matrix to strengthen masonry walls. A synthetic glass fibre mesh was also tested. Several walls were manufactured, strengthened, and tested under cyclic loading. The results allow us to compare the performances of different mesh configurations in terms of size and materials. All strengthening solutions significantly increased shear strength capacity and the ability to dissipate energy compared to unreinforced walls. Further, all strengthened walls exhibited multi-track pattern distributions and achieved distortion capacity improvements of up to 300%. Indicators of stiffness, energy dissipation, damping, residual deformation, and damage allow us to compare the strengthening performances of different solutions. The vegetal solutions provided superior efficiency compared to the glass-FRCM strengthened walls. Additionally, the use of a larger volume of vegetal fibres reduces the consumption of cement and can provide a sustainable solution. The main failure mechanism of the vegetal-FCRMs was debonding, which can be remedied by improvements to material interfaces.
