The masonry infill walls' seismic behaviour is being characterized by extensive damages
and out-of-plane (OOP) collapses due to combined in-plane and OOP loading demands …

Abstract Fabric Reinforced Cementitious Matrix and Composite Reinforced Mortar, are
amongst relatively new type of inorganic composites. Several precedent research programs …

Fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) composites are a new class of materials used
to repair and strengthen existing structures. Mechanical performance varies widely based on …

The primary objective of this work is to present a experimental analysis of textile-reinforced
mortar based strengthening solutions to prevent the out-of-plane (OOP) collapse of masonry …

Masonry structures are very vulnerable during earthquakes, and masonry walls, as the main
load-bearing members, are susceptible to in-plane shear generated by earthquakes. In …

The brittle failure of unreinforced masonry (URM) walls when subjected to in-plane loads
present low shear strength remains a critical issue. The investigation presented in this paper …

Masonry structures are a crucial component of existing building structures. Masonry walls
are the main load-carrying component of masonry structures, and their failure is mainly …

Textile reinforced mortar (TRM) has been intensively researched over at last two decades. It
is a composite consisting of textiles and inorganic matrix. The study presents an …

Carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) grid–reinforced engineered cementitious
composites (ECC) have been developed as an alternative to epoxy resin–based FRP plates …

All over the world, a large part of existing buildings is not adequate to satisfy the safety
requirement and the thermal comfort criteria. For this reason, the interest in structural and …
