Unified Theory for Flexural Strengthening of Masonry with Composites. [PDF]

open access: yesMaterials (Basel), 2019
Recent calamitous events have shown the fragility of the existing masonry buildings. Many of them are heritage structures, such as churches and monumental buildings. Therefore, optimized strengthening strategies are necessary. Experimental studies performed on masonry elements strengthened with composite systems have shown the performance of these ...

Strengthening of Reinforced Concrete Beams with Textile-Reinforced Concrete

open access: yesCivil and Environmental Engineering, 2023
Numerous problems that can occur during regular building use may necessitate the need for reinforced concrete RC members to be strengthened. An increase in live loads or structural damage is two examples.
