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 …

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 …

A new discretized homogenization approach is proposed in this study in order to predict the
behavior of unreinforced and FRCM reinforced masonry structures. The proposed approach …

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 …

Fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (FCRMs) are promising composite materials for the
retrofitting and reinforcement of existing structures. In this study, vegetal meshes consisting …

Brick masonry is being replaced by other lightweight compatible materials in the walls,
however, it is still being used. Almost all the old structures comprise of load-bearing as well …

The computational prediction of the out-of-plane behaviour of unreinforced masonry walls is
a challenge. However, computational numerical models may provide, if properly calibrated …

This study was to investigate the effect of coconut coir on the strength and durability
properties of cement-lime surface plaster mortar. The purpose of adding coconut coir into the …
