[EN] This study aimed to experimentally analyse the robustness of riveted steel bridges based on truss-type structures and to define practical recommendations for early detection of local failures before they cause progressive ...
[EN] A two-step homogenization procedure for fast non-linear static analyses of FRCM (Fabric Reinforced Cementitious Matrix) composites reinforced masonry walls in-plane loaded is presented and benchmarked on a series of ...
[EN] In the present paper, a simple homogenisation two-step procedure is proposed for the analyses of both in and out of plane loaded masonry walls and 3D structures. The ¿unit cell¿ is discretized with 24 triangular plane ...
[EN] The paper presents an experimental study concerning the bond behaviour of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers (CFRP) sheet reinforcements applied to curved masonry surfaces. Such strengthening technique is more and more ...
