A review on the shear performance of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened with externally bonded mortar-based composites (2023)
Journal Article

This paper reviews the performance of shear strengthened reinforced concrete (RC) beams with the use of externally bonded mortar-based composite jackets (e.g. FRCM, ECC, UHPFRC). An experimental database was compiled gathering all the known studies i...

A BIM-based framework for designing sustainable structures through the reuse of precast concrete components (2023)
Conference Proceeding

The widespread use of concrete within the global construction sector is primarily attributed to its inherent qualities of resilience, versatility, longevity, and facilitation of economic growth. Nevertheless, it is noteworthy that this popular materi... Read More about A BIM-based framework for designing sustainable structures through the reuse of precast concrete components.

BIM-based building circularity assessment: conceptual framework (2023)
Conference Proceeding

The construction sector contributes substantially to the consumption of raw materials and the production of waste. Traditional building design strategies are based on an unsustainable economic linear model. Transition to the circular economy (CE) par...

Bond behaviour of light and heavy carbon fibre TRM to masonry interfaces (2023)
Journal Article

We present the results of an experimental campaign on the bond behaviour between carbon fibre textile reinforced mortars and masonry substrate. The campaign involved 54 single lap direct shear tests on masonry wallettes reinforced with a single TRM l...

Impact resistance of concrete and fibre-reinforced concrete: a review (2023)
Journal Article

This paper summarises the research carried out to date on the impact resistance of concrete subjected to different impact load regimes, with a focus on high-velocity projectile impact load. An experimental database is compiled on the response of conc... Read More about Impact resistance of concrete and fibre-reinforced concrete: a review.

Delaying the Occurrence of Bar Buckling in RC Columns Confined with SRG Jacketing (2023)
Journal Article

This paper investigates experimentally the structural performance of substandard reinforced concrete (RC) short columns confined with steel-reinforced grout (SRG) jackets under monotonically increasing uniaxial compression. The study comprised 24 squ... Read More about Delaying the Occurrence of Bar Buckling in RC Columns Confined with SRG Jacketing.
