Engineered cementitious composites (ECC) has been extensively studied due to its
excellent tensile performance in recent decades. ECC can significantly enhance the …

This paper presents a review of the recent work assessing the performance of building
structures strengthened with engineered cementitious composite (ECC). ECC characterizes …

The results of the second part of a comprehensive experimental program, aimed at
investigating the behavior of masonry infilled reinforced concrete (RC) frames strengthened …

This study presents experimental and numerical research on the in-plane behavior of
unreinforced confined masonry walls retrofitted using engineered cementitious composite …

The research work herein presented is aimed at investigating the structural behavior of
stone masonry walls reinforced through different strengthening techniques. In particular, the …

The results of in-plane static cyclic lateral loading tests conducted on unreinforced masonry
walls retrofitted with trowelling engineered cementitious composites (ECC) are presented in …

Steel reinforced plasters (SRP) are a traditional strengthening solution of existing masonry
structures. SRPs consist of a thin layer of cementitious mortar or concrete (jacket) that …

This research was to investigate the behavior of masonry infilled reinforced concrete frame
strengthening with expanded metals under cyclic loading. In this study, a prototype frame …

Owing to the absence of confined columns, unreinforced masonry (URM) walls are
seismically vulnerable during an earthquake. Hence, this study aims to improve the seismic …

Abstract The use of Engineered Cementitious Composite (ECC) shotcrete and near surface
mounted steel reinforcing bars as a seismic strengthening intervention for unreinforced …
