Fibre-reinforced composite materials have gained an increasing success, mostly for
strengthening, retrofitting, and repairing existing structures. However some problems may …

Composite systems consisting of fibers in the form of open fabrics embedded within
inorganic matrices (Fabric Reinforced Cementitious Matrix, FRCM) have become a well …

Abstract Fabric Reinforced Cementitious Matrix (FRCM) materials are composed of a dry
fiber grid embedded in an inorganic matrix, which may contain short fibers. These materials …

externally bonded with inorganic matrices, experimentally proved effective to enhance the …

The behavior of single bricks and small masonry pillars strengthened by means of fabric
reinforced cementitious matrix systems made with glass-fiber grids is discussed both from an …

Abstract Fabric Reinforced Cementitious Matrix (FRCM) composites are advanced cement-
based materials often used for strengthening masonry or concrete structures. The system is …

Abstract The use of Fabric Reinforced Cementitious Matrix (FRCM) systems to reinforce
existing masonry and concrete structures is nowadays a well-established practice. The …

Fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) are composite materials more and more used
for the reinforcement of masonry structures. The combination of high tensile strength fabrics …

In this paper, an innovative composite, formed by a glass fiber net embedded in a gypsum-
based matrix and aimed at strengthening masonry structures, is proposed. Experimental and …

Abstract Fiber Reinforced Mortars (FRM) represents a promising technique for the in-plane
and out-of-plane reinforcement of existing masonry buildings, coupling effectiveness with …
