The Matlab code of the method based on the Full Range Factor for assessing the safety of masonry arches [PDF]

open access: yesMethodsX, 2019
In most masonry arches stresses are very low and, therefore, collapse does not occur because of material failure. As a consequence, the safety of arches should not be assessed by means of a safety factor based on material strength as for conventional ...

Knowledge-Based Investigation of Seismic Vulnerability Assessment and Compatible Strengthening Design of an Existing Masonry Building

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2023
Most existing masonry buildings were built without following code regulations for seismic criteria. Hence, their performance compared to the demands of the current codes, for both seismic and static actions, could be very low.

Beam tests for the determination of the interfacial properties of FRCM composites

open access: yesCase Studies in Construction Materials, 2022
Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Matrix (FRCM) materials are widely used for strengthening reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Experimental studies show that the collapse of RC elements reinforced with FRCM composites occurs due to the loss of bond of the ...

Strengthening Masonry Arches with Lime-Based Mortar Composite

open access: yesBuildings, 2017
In recent decades, many strengthening interventions on masonry elements were performed by using fiber reinforced polymers (FRPs). These advanced materials proved to be effective to increase the load-carrying capacity of masonry elements and to improve ...
