Numerical simulation of masonry walls strengthened with vegetal fabric reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) composites and subjected to cyclic loads
(Elsevier, 2022-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe growing concern for the preservation of old buildings and the wide use of masonry in the construction of civil works has led to a great development of specific techniques to strengthen masonry structures. FRCM (fabric ... -
Experimental comparison of two testing setups for characterizing the shear mechanical properties of masonry
(Elsevier, 2021-09-08)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe prediction of the structural capacity of masonry buildings against lateral loads requires an accurate characterization of the masonry strength and the general response under shear stresses. The experimental determination ... -
Experimental testing of a composite structural system using tile vaults as integrated formwork for reinforced concrete
(Elsevier, 2021-09-20)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyTile vaults are unreinforced masonry structures made of thin bricks (tiles) and fast-setting mortar that can be constructed without the need of a formwork, except at the boundaries, making them inherently economic. Their ... -
Experimental and numerical study of shear interface response of hybrid thin CFRP–concrete slabs
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2021-09-09)
Article
Open AccessHybrid slabs made of carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) and concrete provide a solution that takes advantage of the strength properties of both materials. The performance of the system strongly depends on the CFRP–concrete ... -
Flexible fiber fabric for FRP–concrete connection of thin hybrid slabs
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2021-08-26)
Article
Open AccessIn order to combat corrosion issues, several studies on progressively replacing steel reinforcement elements with composite ones have been conducted in recent years. Hybrid steel– concrete thin slabs in which the steel ... -
Analytical approach and numerical simulation of reinforced concrete beams strengthened with different frcm systems
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2021-04-02)
Article
Open AccessFabric-reinforced cementitious matrices (FRCMs) are a novel composite material for strengthening structures. Fabric contributes to tying cross-sections under tensile stress. The complexity of the interfaces between the ... -
Soil biostabilisation and interaction with compaction processes for earthen engineering structures production
(2021-08-17)
Article
Open AccessInteraction between microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) and compaction procedures to stabilise raw soil materials has been studied with the aim of producing earthen engineering structures. Initial ... -
Technical and environmental viability of a road bicycle pedal part made of a fully bio-based composite material
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2021-03-13)
Article
Open AccessGlass fibre is the most widely used material for reinforcing thermoplastic matrices presently and its use continues to grow. A significant disadvantage of glass fibre, however, is its impact on the environment, in particular, ... -
Flexural failure of fabric reinforced cementitious mortar (FRCM) plates under punctual loads: experimental test, analytical approach and numerical simulation
(Elsevier, 2020-11)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyFabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (FCRMs) are composites that produce lighter and more durable strengthening solutions. In this study, carbon and basalt fabrics were used to manufactured FRCM plate specimens. These ... -
Analytical model for masonry walls strengthened with vegetal fabric reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) composites and subjected to cyclic loads
(2020-12)
Article
Open AccessMasonry is one of the eldest construction systems in the building industry, currently in use because some advantages like compressive capacity, traditional aesthetics, low cost and good practices. However, damages recorded ... -
In-plane cyclic loading of masonry walls strengthened by vegetal-fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) composites
(Elsevier, 2020-10-15)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyFabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (FCRMs) are promising composite materials for the retrofitting and reinforcement of existing structures. In this study, vegetal meshes consisting of hemp and cotton coated with epoxy ... -
A plasticity model for simulation of industrial powder compaction processes
(1996-08)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyA constitutive model, based on large strain plasticity, for simulation of industrial powder compaction processes is presented. The elastic response is stated in terms of a hyperelastic model based on a hookean elastic free ...
