An increasing interest and application is nowadays found for composite systems in
construction and rehabilitation industry. The consensus on fibre reinforced composite …

Mortar-based reinforcements are an innovative solution for retrofitting existing structures that
combine effectiveness, compatibility, and sustainability. Despite the recent spreading of field …

Abstract Fibre Reinforced Cementitious Matrix (FRCM) composites are now widely used for
repair and retrofitting existing structures. Guidelines for product qualification are needed to …

The research addressed in the paper is aimed at calibrating a numerical model developed
by using a free open-source finite-element code for the assessment of the structural …

Composite materials made with textile fibers both with polymeric and cementitious matrices
are often adopted for the retrofitting of masonry arches and vaults. A specific project that …

The debonding process of an FRCM reinforcing system from the substrate is studied in a
semi-analytical fashion. FRCM is modeled considering independently the central elastic …

Abstract Steel Reinforced Grout (SRG) systems, comprising Ultra High Tensile Strength
Steel cords embedded in mortar matrix, are increasingly used for the strengthening of …

An innovative class of fiber-reinforced composites is represented by Fabric-Reinforced
Cementitious Matrix (FRCM) systems, which are becoming broadly used as externally …

Masonry walls are particularly vulnerable against out-of-plane seismic actions. Steel tie-bars
and crowing beams in reinforced masonry can prevent their overturning, but collapse may …

In the last two decades, Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composites were effectively used
for increasing the load-carrying capacity of masonry arches and for improving their …
