Ageing of the building stock is an issue affecting many regions in the world. This means a
large proportion of existing buildings being considered energy inefficient, with associated …

Collapses or serious damages of existing buildings during strong earthquakes have resulted
in significant economic losses, severe injuries and loss of human lives. Given the late …

This paper presents a data-driven approach to determine the load and flexural capacities of
reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened with fabric reinforced cementitious matrix …

The degradation of reinforced concrete (RC) structural components owing to aging
mechanisms and extreme loading events can cause significant performance and safety …

The current European building stock is ageing and requires significant renovation efforts to
improve its energy performance and ensure structsural safety. As part of the key actions of …

This study aims to assess the efficacy of innovative and sustainable methods in improving
the shear performance of Reinforced Concrete (RC) beams lacking shear stirrups. Eleven …

For certain cases internal reinforcement made of Fibre-reinforced polymers (FRP) is a
promising solution to the degradation of steel reinforcement caused by environmental …

Fabric reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) composites are increasingly used for flexural
and shear strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) beams. This paper presents the results …

The use of non-metallic, textile reinforcement structures in place of steel reinforcement is a
key component in making concrete constructions more sustainable and durable than they …

In the present study, the potential of the use of strain-hardening cementitious composite
strips internally reinforced with glass fiber textile mesh layers (GFTM-SHCC) as a …
