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

In-plane strength of masonry walls is affected by the resistant mechanisms activated in the
walls, ie, related to flexural or shear behavior. The latter one can occur in the walls …

Fibre-reinforced composite materials have gained an increasing success, mostly for
strengthening, retrofitting, and repairing existing structures. However some problems may …

Externally bonded grids are used in this study as a means of increasing the load-carrying
and deformation capacity of unreinforced masonry (URM) walls subjected to cyclic loading …

Among all building materials, concrete is the most commonly used—and there is a
staggering demand for it. However, as we strive to build taller structures with improved …

Historical masonry constructions often need to be strengthened and upgraded to satisfy
current seismic code requirements. Recently many interventions have been done bonding …

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 …

Tuff masonry structures represent a large part of the existing cultural heritage in
Mediterranean countries and need to be preserved against earthquakes by reversible …

This paper presents a technique for retrofitting nonseismically reinforced concrete (RC)
masonry-infilled frames with textile-reinforced mortar (TRM) jacketing. In the present study …

Basalt textile-reinforced mortar (BTRM) composites have shown to be a promising technique
for the reinforcement of masonry systems, but their use as in-plane shear reinforcement of …
