The automatic generation of elastic-plastic stress fields (EPSF) for structural concrete members by means of the finite element method has been demonstrated as a suitable approach for the design and assessment of D regions. This methodology allows accounti ...
Most classic investigations on bonding properties in reinforced concrete have been performed on the basis of pull-out tests, where a reinforcement bar is pulled out from an uncracked concrete cylinder, prism or cube. In these tests, the bond is governed by ...
The strengthening method characterized by the application of composite grid reinforced mortar layers onto the surface of masonry walls is a quite new technique and, thus, still requires deep experimental and numerical investigation. This strengthening tech ...
The seismic reinforcement of masonry walls needs to be carried out through appropriate and effective techniques aiming at providing both adequate strength and displacement capacity. The present research concerns experimental results about the in-plane beha ...
This article presents the outcome of a series of in-plane shear tests on non-traditional masonry walls under unstrengthened and strengthened conditions. The uniqueness of the experiments arises from the testing of unfired clay and earth (adobe) bricks, whi ...
In the present paper the experimental results of in-plane shear tests on masonry walls subject to cyclic loads under constant axial load and externally strengthened with composite grid embedded in a cementitious matrix are synthetized. The experimental res ...
The production of reactivated cementitious materials is an option for the recycling of hydrated-cement-rich fines discarded during recycled aggregate production. Reactivation is based on a thermal process where calcium silicate hydrates present in the fine ...
This article presents a new mechanical model for the non-linear force-displacement response of unreinforced masonry (URM) walls developing a flexural rocking mode including their displacement capacity. The model is based on the plane section hypothesis and ...
Supramolecular rubbers incorporating a large number of physical cross-links through cooperative hydrogen bonds display high self-healing properties but limited solvent and creep resistance due to the lack of chemical cross-links. Increasing both chemical c ...
In this paper, the bond behaviour of masonry elements made of tuff stone and bonded with different types of FRP fabrics (glass, carbon, basalt) has been investigated through an experimental campaign. Tuff is a natural stone representing a very common base ...
