The emerging need to upgrade the structural performance of buildings and structures has
been recently alleviated with the newly developed textile-reinforced mortar (TRM) …

This paper presents a state-of-the-art review on the available seismic upgrading techniques
of existing masonry structures, which comprise a very common structural material including …

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 …

An increasing interest and application is nowadays found for composite systems in
construction and rehabilitation industry. The consensus on fibre reinforced composite …

In this study, the failure modes of masonry structures after the earthquakes (Mw 7.7 and 7.6)
occurred in Kahramanmaraş on February 6, 2023 were investigated by fieldwork. Within the …

The debonding process of an FRCM reinforcing system from the substrate is studied in a
semi-analytical fashion. FRCM is modeled considering independently the central elastic …

This paper reports an experimental programme on masonry walls composed of handmade
solid clay brick and hydraulic lime mortar. Reversed cyclic shear compression tests were …

Confining concrete structures with fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) is proven to be an efficient
technique in improving the dilation and axial performance of concrete columns. However, a …

The paper presents the results of an experimental campaign aimed at investigating the in-
plane and out-of-plane behavior of tuff and fired clay brick masonry panels reinforced by a …

In the paper, the results of an experimental and numerical study on the out-of-plane bending
effectiveness of a modern strengthening technique applied to existing masonry walls are …
