Shear Testing of Topologically Optimised Web Cover Plates in Splice Connections—Experiment Design and Results Open
Testing shear-resisting plates in steel connections is one of the most challenging laboratory undertakings in steel construction, as the most common experimental layout design includes simulating the connection with its adjoining members. …

SHEAR DEFICIENT RC BEAMS RETROFITTED WITH INORGANIC-MATRIX COMPOSITES Open
Reinforced concrete (RC) beams of existing framed buildings designed and realized 40-50 years ago are, in frequent cases, characterized by low amounts of transverse reinforcement and need rapid and efficient retrofitting interventions to m…

Full-scale experimental tests on unbonded fiber reinforced elastomeric isolators under bidirectional excitation Open
Unbonded fiber reinforced elastomeric isolators (UFREIs) represent a lower-cost alternative to conventional steel reinforced elastomeric isolators (SREIs), in which the internal steel shims are replaced with fiber reinforcement and the ins…

Clevis-Grip Tensile Tests on Basalt, Carbon and Steel FRCM Systems Realized with Customized Cement-Based Matrices Open
The tensile properties of fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) composites are experimentally investigated through clevis-grip tensile tests (according to AC434 provisions) on FRCM coupons realized with customized (ad hoc developed …
