Textile reinforced mortars (TRM), also known in the international literature as textile
reinforced concrete (TRC) or fabric reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) materials, have …

Strengthening and rehabilitation of structural element are inevitable and the strengthened
concrete structural elements are primarily used to increase the life span of deteriorated …

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

Abstract The use of Fabric Reinforced Cementitious Matrix (FRCM) composites appears as a
compatible and effective technique to strengthen masonry structures. The use of FRCM …

The use of externally applied composite systems to upgrade, strengthen or rehabilitate
masonry or concrete structures is well established. However, structural strengthening with …

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 …

As well known the confinement is an effective intervention for increasing the compressive
strength of an axially loaded column. During the decades, different materials have been …

Abstract TRM (Textile Reinforced Mortar) and FRCM (Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Mortar)
strengthening materials are highly heterogeneous composites involving domains that have …

Fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) materials overcome some hazard limitations
of organic resins and are becoming a competitive technology on retrofitting reinforced …

This paper presents the results of an investigation on the bond behavior and stress-transfer
mechanism of polyparaphenylene benzobisoxazole (PBO) fiber-reinforced cementitious …
