The present paper deals with the structural behavior of masonry columns strengthened by a
system made up of composite fiber grids embedded in cementitious matrix; in particular, the …

The overarching goal of this work is to provide a fundamental understanding of the behavior
of solid brick masonry columns confined with fiber reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) …

A large number of masonry buildings have been designed to sustain gravity loads or with
reference to obsolete seismic provisions. Columns are among the weakest elements …

Retrofitting of damaged and/or ancient masonry structures is of significant importance to
increase their structural safety. In this study, a retrofitting technique of basalt-textile …

The results of an experimental campaign on bond between Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer
(GFRP) sheets and single clay brick or masonry panel is presented. Four different types of …

The article addresses the issues of strengthening and stabilisation of compressed masonry
structures by inorganic FRP fabrics. The confinement of a masonry column with fabrics of …

Nowadays, innovative materials are more frequently adopted for strengthening historical
constructions and masonry structures. The target of these techniques is to improve the …

Abstract Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) and Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC)
have been widely used to strengthen masonry columns due to their superior mechanical …

The vulnerability of masonry constructions under seismic forces, or more generally under the
mechanical actions during the centuries, has been highlighted in the last years by several …

Masonry structures strengthened with textile-reinforced concrete (TRC) have been
extensively studied, and many results have confirmed the TRC-strengthened effectiveness …
