The seismic strengthening of buildings in earthquake-prone areas has been a hot topic in
recent years, especially for masonry structures. Because there are so many masonry …

A holistic methodology for developing the digital twins and conducting seismic vulnerability
assessments of masonry arch bridges is proposed and applied to a historical stone masonry …

The confinement technique has been effectively used to enhance the strength and ductility
of structural elements. Since masonry possesses relatively limited ductility and tensile …

Masonry walls exhibit low tensile strength and high material heterogeneity, which makes
them especially vulnerable against cyclic loading conditions, such as those typical in …

The masonry building heritage consists of a large variety of masonry typologies. Often,
apparent thick-walls are frequently made up of a multi-leaf structure. In this case, the …

This paper shows the results of an experimental campaign aimed at testing eight reinforced
concrete (RC) columns, four of them being confined through E-glass fiber reinforced …

Although one of the main advantages of Textile Reinforced Mortars (TRM) is their non-
combustible character, their behavior against fire or high temperatures has not been …

Shear walls in historic constructions often require retrofit. The lateral load capacity is
frequently insufficient to withstand seismic actions. Threaded titanium rods embedded in …

The behavior of masonry walls strengthened with Textile Reinforced Mortars (TRM) is a topic
that has received considerable attention from researchers in recent years. However, the …

Architectural heritage is usually built with masonry structures, which present problems under
lateral in-plane loading conditions, such as wind pressure or earthquakes. In order to …
