Heritage buildings are considered a source of pride for countries, and their preservation is
an important pursuit. Different techniques have been adopted in this regard, and many …

The growing concern about the protection of built heritage and the sustainability of urban
areas has driven the reoccupation of existing masonry buildings, which, in the great majority …

The Italian building heritage is aged and inadequate to the high-performance levels
required nowadays in terms of energy efficiency and seismic response. Innovative …

A composite floor comprising of steel beams connected to cross laminated timber (CLT)
panels is a sustainable alternative to composite floors with reinforced concrete slab. The …

This study deals with the identification of the mechanical behavior of chemical anchors
embedded in masonry walls. 108 pull-out tests are carried out in five types of masonry walls …

ABSTRACT A unidirectional shake-table test was performed on the half-scale prototype of a
natural stone masonry building aggregate, to investigate the seismic performance of this …

This paper focuses on any straight bar, herein called “anchor”, inserted within a hole drilled
into a masonry structure, installed orthogonally to the masonry surface, and bonded to the …

The quasi-static in-plane cyclic response of two single-leaf calcium silicate unreinforced
masonry piers was investigated to show the effectiveness of an innovative timber retrofit …

The seismic response of historical masonry buildings is largely controlled by the
effectiveness of wall-to-diaphragm connections, which can be improved using injection …

The paper discusses the mechanical characterisation tests conducted on the masonry
composed of fired solid bricks and earthen mortar. Earth materials are considered …
