Textile-Reinforced Mortar (TRM) is a modern and compatible strengthening strategy for
existing masonry, which consists in plastering the walls by means of mortar layers with …

The experimental characterisation of externally bonded composite materials as
strengthening solutions for masonry structures, such as basalt textile reinforced mortar …

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 …

Masonry walls exhibit low tensile strength and high material heterogeneity, which makes
them especially vulnerable against cyclic loading conditions, such as those typical in …

A key feature that determines the seismic performance of masonry buildings is the ability of
the walls to withstand in-plane cyclic loads. In this context, Textile Reinforced Mortars (TRM) …

As a means to lessen the threat of an accidental blast, the polyurea sprayed reinforcement of
masonry walls has attracted extensive attention. In this research, the detailed micro …

The masonry tensile strength and shear modulus play a key role in the definition of the shear
capacity of masonry structures. These properties are often determined experimentally by …

The work concerns the detailed finite element modelling of multiscale experimental tests
performed on glass-Textile Reinforced Mortars (TRM) with the aim of investigating the …

The behavior of masonry walls strengthened with Textile Reinforced Mortars (TRM) is a topic
that has received considerable attention from researchers in recent years. However, the …

Abstract Textile Reinforced Mortar (TRM) composites are one of the most effective
techniques to prevent failure and ensure seismic protection of unreinforced masonry in …
