In this paper, the effect of several brick and mortar mechanical and microstructural
parameters on the maximum debonding force of the same glass fiber reinforced polymer …

Existing un-reinforced masonry buildings made of vaults, columns and brick and multi-leaf
stone masonry walls, many of which have historical and cultural importance, constitute a …

The article deals with the issues of the strengthening and stabilisation of stone masonry
columns reinforced by fabrics based on inorganic fibres under concentric compression …

The use of Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) materials for the external confinement of existing
concrete or masonry members is now an established technical solution. Several studies in …

There is a lack of studies available in the literature focusing on the reinforcement of slender
masonry columns commonly observed in the practice. This work presents the results of an …

Confinement of masonry columns using fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composites have
displayed to enhance the axial capacity and ductility. Although, mechanisms of FRP …

The strengthening of facing-masonry columns represents a current challenge since from the
past for architects and engineers. A typical past solution involves the use of a continuous or …

The innovative technique here illustrated is the result of historical evolution of ancient
systems of hooping and is conditioned by design criteria that take into account the structural …

Through low-cycle reciprocating tests on 11 masonry wall specimens strengthened using
reinforced-concrete–masonry composite columns, the effects of the position of the composite …

High ductile concrete (HDC) is a kind of cement-based composites containing discontinuous
short polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibers exhibiting strain-hardening performance and high …
