Abstract: The residual flexural behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened with a fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) composite system after exposure to elevated temperatures was analyzed and discussed in the ...

Abstract: This paper aims to analyze the results of compression tests conducted on fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM)–confined concrete elements. The analysis is developed using a database of 152 compression tests on ...

Abstract: This paper presents an investigation, both experimental and analytical, on RC beams that are strengthened in flexure using externally bonded steel-reinforced grout (SRG) composites. An experimental investigation was conducted ...

Abstract: The paper analyzes the structural behavior of concrete beams reinforced with hybrid fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)-steel reinforcements. The analysis refers to concrete beams reinforced with FRP rebars placed near the outer ...

Abstract: The use of externally bonded composite systems is recognized as an effective solution for strengthening existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Steel-reinforced grout (SRG) is an attractive option, because of its ...

Abstract: The paper describes the results of an experimental investigation into the bond behavior of fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM)–masonry joints after exposure to high temperature. Single-lap direct shear tests (DS) ...

Abstract: The bond between fabric reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) and masonry substrates is investigated in this paper. An experimental investigation was performed on eighteen clay brick specimens strengthened with a single ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of experimental research on PBO (P-phenylene benzobisoxazole)-FRCM (fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix)-confined concrete elements with a variously shaped end PBO mesh overlap. In FRCM ...
