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 ...
The performance of fibre reinforced plastic (FRP) materials used for external strengthening depends strongly on the bond behaviour at the FRP-substrate interface. In this paper, the results of an analytical model and of two Finite Element (FE) models (bi-a ...
The experimental results of several bond tests on masonry blocks made of yellow tuff and bonded with different types of Fibre Reinforced Plastic (FRP) fabrics carried out by the authors are presented and analysed. The discussion of results is mainly focuse ...
Automatic joinery has become a common technique for the jointing of beams in timber framing and roofing. It has revived traditional, integrated joints such as mortise and tenon connections. Similarly, but only recently, the automatic fabri- cation of tradi ...
When testing multi-storey structures, most testing facilities require the testing of a reduced-scale model. A literature review on tests of scaled masonry structural components revealed that scaling of masonry was rather challenging and often significant d ...

Concrete is a most important geomaterial as it is used for a large part in our buildings and infrastructures. According to Planetoscope (2012) its production is about 6 billion m3 per year (190 m3 each second) which makes it the most used manufactured mate ...
An experimental study of full-scale reinforced concrete flat slabs crosswise strengthened with prestressed carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) straps against punching shear was performed. The effects of two strap anchoring systems and of slab thickness ...
For a shake table test on a four-storey structure with both unreinforced hollow-core brick masonry (URM) walls and reinforced concrete (RC) walls, the test unit had to be constructed at half-scale. While past experience showed that testing RC structural el ...
Controlled low-strength material (CLSM) mixture design remains a trial-and-error process. A new approach using relative proportioning of the constituent materials instead of prescribed mass contents is proposed. Relative proportions allow for independent a ...
