Confinement of masonry columns with textile-reinforced mortar jackets
(2020)This paper presents an experimental investigation on the confinement of masonry columns with textile-reinforced mortar (TRM) jackets as a means of enhancing their axial load-carrying capacity and axial deformability. The ... -
Fatigue of textiles used in vascular surgery: Application to carotid endarterectomy
(2021)Fatigue is a material-based phenomenon playing a significant role in the mechanical behavior of components and structures. Although fatigue has been well studied for traditional materials, such as metals, its underlying ... -
Flexural strengthening of RC beams with textile-reinforced mortar composites focusing on the influence of the mortar type
(2021)This paper presents an experimental study on the flexural strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) beams with externally bonded layers of textile-reinforced mortar (TRM), as a means of improving their flexural response. ... -
Flexural Strengthening of Two-Way RC Slabs with Cut Openings Using Textile-Reinforced Mortar Composites
(2021)This paper presents an experimental investigation on the application of textile-reinforced mortar (TRM) layers as a means of increasing the flexural capacity of two-way reinforced concrete (RC) slabs with cut openings. The ... -
FUll-scale shake table experiments and vibration tests for assessing the effectiveness of textile materials for retrofitting masonry buildings
(2011)Full-scale shake table seismic experiments and low amplitude vibration tests on a masonry building are carried out to assess its seismic performance as well as study the effectiveness of a new textile material for retrofitting ... -
Micropolar 2D Elastic Cables with Applications to Smart Cables and Textiles
(2014)Elastic cables are structural elements with a one-sided constitutive law (compression is not allowed) that obtain their equilibrium configuration by adjusting their shape to satisfy static equilibrium. The loading of a ... -
Novel methods for the mechanical characterization of patches used in carotid artery repair
(2018)Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is one of the approaches available for the treatment of carotid artery disease, with carotid patch angioplasty the pertinent technique mostly preferred by vascular surgeons. This technique ... -
Out-of-plane response of masonry walls strengthened using textile-mortar system
(2018)The out-of-plane response of masonry walls strengthened with textile-reinforced mortar (TRM) is experimentally investigated in this work. Medium-scale three-point bending tests were carried out on 18 specimens comprising ... -
Out-of-Plane Strengthening of Masonry-Infilled RC Frames with Textile-Reinforced Mortar Jackets
(2019)This paper presents an experimental investigation on the use of textile-reinforced mortar (TRM) jackets as a means of improving the out-of-plane performance of masonry infill walls in reinforced concrete (RC) frames during ... -
Pretwisted beams in axial tension and torsion: Analogy with dipolar gradient elasticity and applications to textile materials
(2015)A technical theory for pretwisted beams that accounts for variable twist (constrained warping) is based on an approximate displacement field that is defined completely in terms of two unknown functions: the axial displacement ... -
Shear strengthening of concrete members with TRM jackets: Effect of shear span-to-depth ratio, material and amount of external reinforcement
(2018)An experimental work on reinforced concrete (RC) rectangular beams strengthened in shear with textile reinforced mortar (TRM) jackets is presented in this paper, with focus on the following investigated parameters: (a) the ... -
Strengthening of Concrete Structures with Textile Reinforced Mortars: State-of-the-Art Review
(2019)Textile reinforced mortars (TRM), also known in the international literature as textile reinforced concrete (TRC) or fabric reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) materials, have been widely studied during the last two ...
