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 use of fabric-reinforced cementitious mortar (FRCM) or steel-reinforced grout (SRG) is
now recognized to be effective in enhancing the axial capacity of masonry columns when …

The Fabric Reinforced Cementitious Matrices (FRCMs) and Steel Reinforced Grout (SRG)
are a promising strengthening solution for existing masonry since inorganic matrix is …

Emerging techniques that use fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites for strengthening
and conservation of historic masonry are becoming increasingly accepted. In the last …

The structural performances of masonry columns confined with Fabric Reinforced
Cementitious Matrix (FRCM) is analysed, both experimentally and theoretically, in this …

Nowadays, the strengthening and the retrofitting are crucial issues in the civil engineering
challenge for structural conservation. Innovative techniques, using fiber reinforced polymers …

In order to improve the axial capacity of masonry columns, the confinement techniques allow
restoring the structural safety without altering the architectural value, the shape and the …

The conservation and the preservation of existing masonry buildings, most of them
recognized as cultural heritage, require retrofitting techniques that should reduce the …

Several experimental tests recently performed on tuff or clay brick masonry elements (ie
walls and arches) demonstrated the benefits of Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Matrix …

Fabric Reinforced Cementitious Matrix (FRCM) systems are promising solutions for the
confinement of masonry columns because they demonstrate strengthening effectiveness …
