Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites are increasingly being used to
strengthen structures and to retrofit existing structures. CFRP composites are used in various …

The masonry infill walls' seismic behaviour is being characterized by extensive damages
and out-of-plane (OOP) collapses due to combined in-plane and OOP loading demands …

This paper explores innovative techniques by combining inorganic textile-based composites
with thermal insulation for the simultaneous seismic and energy retrofitting of the existing old …

This paper presents a technique for retrofitting nonseismically reinforced concrete (RC)
masonry-infilled frames with textile-reinforced mortar (TRM) jacketing. In the present study …

The importance of non-structural components in building performance under seismic action
is well recognized in the scientific community. Damage to residential buildings registered in …

A total of 12 experiments were carried out to evaluate the effect of prior in-plane damage on
the out-of-plane response of structurally and thermally retrofitted masonry wallettes …

This research was to investigate the behavior of masonry infilled reinforced concrete frame
strengthening with expanded metals under cyclic loading. In this study, a prototype frame …

The current techniques used for strengthening existing buildings made out of masonry
infilled frames are characterized by high impact on the daily internal activities, as people …

The current generation is looking for new materials and technology to reduce the
dependency on fossil fuels, exploring sustainable energy sources to maintain the future …

Monetary losses induced by earthquakes in Reinforced Concrete (RC) buildings are mainly
due to damage to non-structural elements (infills, partitions, finishes, etc.). In this study …
