The Pier Luigi Nervi's concrete structure of Palazzetto dello Sport: Modeling and dynamic characterization

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper presents a numerical and experimental study aimed at the modeling and dynamic characterization of the reinforced concrete structure of the Palazzetto dello Sport in Rome, designed and by Pier Luigi Nervi with Annibale Vitellozzi, and built by Nervi & Bartoli contractors in 1956‐57.

Damage-imperfection indicators for the assessment of multi-leaf masonry walls under different conditions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The complexity of multi-leaf masonry walls suggests further researches on the dy- namic behaviour mainly characterized by incoherent response between the different layers.

Performance analysis of strengthening reinforced concrete beams under pure torsion using galvanized steel sheets: Experimental and numerical investigation

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Reinforced concrete (RC) beams can be subjected to torsion, and failure due to torsion is brittle and poses a significant risk to occupants. Moreover, strengthening of existing RC beams in torsion may be required due to the upgrade of the structures or as part of structural rehabilitation.

Strengthening of Steel Columns under Load: Torsional-Flexural Buckling

open access: yesAdvances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2016
The paper presents experimental and numerical research into the strengthening of steel columns under load using welded plates. So far, the experimental research in this field has been limited mostly to flexural buckling of columns and the preload had low

Impact of half‐joint failures on RC girder bridges: A robustness quantification study

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The robustness of bridge structures is critical to ensuring safety and service continuity, particularly in aging infrastructure exposed to degradation and unexpected loads. Reinforced concrete (RC) half‐joint bridges—widely built in Italy between the 1950s and 1970s—exhibit specific vulnerabilities due to inspection challenges, durability ...

An experimental investigation of retro-reinforced clay brick arches

open access: yes, 2010
This paper describes the laboratory testing of eight 2.95m span segmental profile clay brick arches. Seven of the arches were strengthened with longitudinal intrados (soffit) reinforcement; the eighth was left unreinforced as an experimental control ...

On the preservation of reinforced concrete architectural masterpieces: The challenges of the REcube project

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The preservation of reinforced concrete masterpieces from the 20th century poses a complex challenge. These structures often combine architectural, historical, and technological value, which standard engineering codes and conservation practices are not fully equipped to address. The Erasmus+ REcube project responded to this gap by promoting an

Fracture mechanics of plate debonding: experimental validation

open access: yes, 2009
Premature plate debonding hampers the efficient use of externally bonded FRP plates for flexural strengthening of concrete beams. Existing research mostly concentrates on finite element (FE) modelling of the concrete–FRP interface but such analyses are ...

Numerical analysis of debonding behavior of FRP sheets bonded to concrete focusing on mortar skin

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper proposes a novel simple method for finite element analysis (FEA) to simulate the debonding behavior of fiber‐reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets bonded to concrete. This study focuses on the mortar skin of the concrete surface layer, which fails during FRP sheet debonding.
