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 ...

Springer Verlag2015

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 ...

Stress Fields for the analysis of the faillure load and cracking state of dapped-end beams (Aplicación de modelos de campos de tensiones para el análisis en servicio y rotura de apoyos a media madera)

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Jaime Mata Falcon

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 ...

VI Congreso ACHE2014

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 ...

Structural performance of complex core systems for FRP-balsa composite sandwich bridge decks

Michael Osei-Antwi

Based on current fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite construction principles, FRP decks fall into two categories: pultruded decks and sandwich decks. Sandwich decks comprise face sheets and either honeycombs or foams reinforced with internal FRP webs ...

Bond tests on tuff elements externally bonded with FRP materials

Angelo Garofano

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 ...

FE modelling of masonry panels externally bonded with FRP grid

Angelo Garofano

Within the strengthening techniques of masonry elements with Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) materials, the use of FRP grid applied with cement based mortar seems to be very promising and interesting, mainly due to the compatibility of the mortar with the m ...

Modelling of the bond behaviour of tuff elements externally bonded with FRP sheets

Angelo Garofano

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 ...

Ductility of civil engineering structures incorporating fibre reinforced polymers (FRPs)

Thomas Keller, Wendel Michael Sebastian

The special issue of the Construction and Building Materials journal has 14 papers covering a spectrum of studies from leading researchers the world over into the ductility characteristics of structural components or structures incorporating FRPs (fiber re ...
