Structures are often subjected to extreme loading conditions that lead to their premature
deterioration, and replacement of those structures before the end of their design lives is very …

This paper reviews Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composites in Civil Engineering
applications. Three FRP types are used in Structural Engineering: FRP profiles for new …

A number of bifidobacterial species are found at a particularly high prevalence and
abundance in faecal samples of healthy breastfed infants, a phenomenon that is believed to …

This paper presents the results of an experimental campaign carried out to investigate the
behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened in shear with externally bonded …

The structural behaviour of reinforced concrete beams strengthened with a system made by
fibre nets embedded into an inorganic stabilized cementitious matrix named Fibre …

Results of an experimental campaign on FRP–concrete delamination are presented.
Specimens with different bonded lengths and plate widths have been tested. Strain gauges …

The application of externally bonded fiber-reinforced polymer (EB-FRP) as shear transverse
reinforcement applied in vulnerable reinforced concrete (RC) beams has been proved to be …

Most of the existing buildings in seismic prone regions have been built before the
publication of modern design provisions against earthquakes, resulting in the need for …

The shear capacity of reinforced concrete beams strengthened with cement based
composite materials (FRCM, Fabric Reinforced Cementitious Matrix) was investigated in the …

This paper presents the results of an experimental program aimed at comparing the cyclic
behavior of three full-scale reinforced concrete (RC) exterior beam-column joints repaired …
