An experimental test is proposed to investigate the interface shear strength between
carbonated concrete substrate and self-compacting concrete (SCC) overlay. Thirty-nine Z …

This article presents the results of an extensive experimental programme investigating the
structural performance for in-plane loads of old masonry walls strengthened using a specific …

The failure mode behavior of hybrid thin laminates consisting of Carbon Fiber Reinforced
Plastic and Steel Plate Cold Commercial (CFRP-SPCC) in term of quasi-static tensile test …

This paper presents an experimental and numerical study into the shear response of brick
masonry triplet prisms under different levels of precompression, as well as samples …

In this work, two main fiber strengthening systems typically applied in masonry structures
have been investigated: composites made of basalt and hemp fibers, coupled with inorganic …

Structural walls made of solid brick masonry have been used for centuries in old buildings,
which are vulnerable to earthquakes. Reinforcing this type of walls may increase the overall …

Old masonry buildings, which are frequently part of the cities-built heritage, are vulnerable to
seismic actions. Thus, it is important to conduct efficient seismic strengthening interventions …

This paper presents part of the results of an experimental campaign for the development of a
strengthening technique, aimed at retrofitting old buildings by the application of exterior …

Since unreinforced masonry buildings are vulnerable to earthquakes, various studies have
been conducted to improve their seismic performance. In this study, spring dampers were …

This study involves examining a second technique for improving external prestressing
tendons to remediate the deflection and cracking of an 18-year-old strengthened four-span …
