Steel reinforced plasters (SRP) are a traditional strengthening solution of existing masonry
structures. SRPs consist of a thin layer of cementitious mortar or concrete (jacket) that …

In this paper an analytical approach for the design and assessment of masonry structures
retrofitted with steel reinforced plaster (SRP) is proposed. The aim of the proposed method is …

The aim of this research study is to experimentally investigate the effectiveness of
ferrocement overlay on the seismic capacity of damaged mortarless dry stacked masonry …

The paper presents an experimental investigation on the tensile behavior of twisted
stainless-steel bars considering different parameters that could affect their performance …

Throughout the last few decades, the scientific community has paid great attention to the
structural safety of historical masonry constructions, which have high vulnerability with …

The nonlinear assessment of masonry buildings strengthened with composites is crucial for
evaluating retrofitting effectiveness prior to practical implementation. However, numerical …

To investigate the mechanical properties of plastic–concrete silo walls in practice, the
mechanical properties and failure mechanism under the combined bending moment and …

Cellular lightweight concrete (CLC) block masonry is an eco-friendly building material
gaining popularity in both developed and developing countries. Despite its increasing use …

Abstract The church monastery 'Shelbuen'Rubik in Albania has tourist and historical values,
as it is made in a different style from most historical monasteries in the country. On 26 …

This study focused on perforated bricks, and the structural performance enhancement of
