Abstract: Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are more and more used in the building trade for the set up of reinforcing and repair devices. As known, FRP composites offer higher strength and Young modulus than traditional ...

Abstract: Fabric-reinforced cementitious matrices have raised a great interest for the external strengthening of historical masonries, representing a valid alternative to fiber-reinforced polymers. As the effectiveness of an external ...

Abstract: The results of an experimental investigation into the behavior of fiber-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) composites made of basalt textile coupled to different inorganic matrices are presented and compared. Single- ...
