Abstract: This paper presents an experimental work aimed at determining the fracture properties of fired-clay and tuff brick, obtained from construction sites of existing buildings and a commercially available fired-clay brick. This ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of an experimental work aimed at determining the effect of the width of a steel fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite on the load-carrying capacity of a composite–concrete interface. ...

Abstract: The premature debonding phenomenon of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites, when externally applied to an RC structure, prevents this technology from fully exploiting its ability of increasing the strength of the ...
