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...

Bond behaviour of light and heavy carbon fibre TRM to masonry interfaces (2023)
Journal Article
Makashev, K., Triantafyllou, S. P., Thermou, G. E., & Tizani, W. (2023). Bond behaviour of light and heavy carbon fibre TRM to masonry interfaces. Construction and Building Materials, 400, Article 132508. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.conbuildmat.2023.132508

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...

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
Thermou, G. E., & Tastani, S. (2023). Delaying the Occurrence of Bar Buckling in RC Columns Confined with SRG Jacketing. Applied Sciences, 13(12), Article 7232. https://doi.org/10.3390/app13127232

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.
