“…The multilinear stress-strain relationship appears to be the favorite approach to model an experimental stress-strain curve. However, the experimental results [18] support also the use of simplified approaches according to linear, bilinear, or trilinear stress-strain relationships.…”

Models able to assess the effects of composite strengthening on masonry structures are worthy of further developments. This is also evident in modern design codes and guidelines where, for the masonry, there is lack of well-established approaches. In fact, most of the strengthening applications on masonry structures are designed based on suggestions by the manufacturers, missing strict and clear calculations. Such an approach leads, very often, to the execution of large and therefore economically demanding strengthening systems, also not encouraging their diffusion. Furthermore, the use of excessive strengthening often involves an excessive, and above all involuntary, reduction of ductility capacity. It needs also further investigation the impact of peculiar behaviors of composites (e.g. up to trilinear stress strain behavior for FRCM) on the flexural response of masonry. In this paper the behavior of strengthened masonry members is analyzed accounting for the variability of mechanical characteristics of both masonry and the strengthening systems. The behavior of the members is analyzed in terms of the moment-curvature relationships. This approach allows to evaluate both the flexural capacity and the ductility capacity of the strengthened masonry sections. In fact, the ductility is a key aspect in the retrofit of masonry structures. Finally, the process of adimensionalization, allows to extend the results to any case, providing a useful tool not only for verification but also for the design of interventions.

“…However, due to decomposition of epoxy matrix, the tensile strength of CFRP and GFRP at 600°C decreased to less than 60% of the strength measured at room temperature, and the tensile strength of PBO fabric at 500°C decreased to less than 40% of the strength measured at room temperature [17,19]. erefore, even if the epoxy is replaced with a cementitious matrix, it should be considered that the sufficient fire resistance cannot be secured if these fabrics are used as strengthening materials.…”

is paper presents both experimental and analytical research results for predicting the flexural capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) slabs strengthened in flexure with basalt fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM). A total of 13 specimens were fabricated to evaluate the flexural behavior of RC slabs strengthened with basalt FRCM composite and were tested under fourpoint loading.e fiber type, tensile reinforcement ratio, and the number of fabric layers were chosen as experimental variables. e maximum load of FRCM-strengthened specimens increased from 11.2% to 98.2% relative to the reference specimens. e energy ratio and ductility of the FRCM-strengthened specimens decreased with the higher amount of fabric and tensile reinforcement. e effective stress level of FRCM fabric can be accurately predicted by a bond strength of ACI 549 and Jung's model.

“…Continuous modeling has been successfully employed in many practical applications of civil engineering, and specifically for studying the behavior of real-life unreinforced masonry structures under seismic actions [5][6][7]. As a matter of fact, this type of analysis is mandatory when dealing with the design of retrofitting and strengthening interventions, as those based on the use of externally applied FRP or FRCM reinforcement systems [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16].…”

A novel multiscale strategy is proposed for the damage analysis of masonry structures modeled as periodic composites. Such a computational strategy, whose aim is to reduce the typically high computational cost exhibited by fully microscopic numerical analyses, is based on a multiscale/multidomain model equipped with an adaptive capability, which allows to automatically zoom-in the zones incipiently affected by damage onset. The associated model refinement criterion requires the determination of microscopically informed first failure surfaces, which take into account both classical and bending deformation effects, by taking advantage of a couple-stress based homogenization technique. In order to assess the efficacy of the proposed multiscale modeling strategy, some numerical simulations are presented, involving a medium-sized wall test subjected to combined shear and flexure loading conditions. The related accuracy and computational performances of this methodology are investigated via suitable comparisons with a purely discrete model of masonry. Special attention is devoted to the analysis of the bending macroscopic deformation effects. Further comparisons with experimental results taken from the literature are carried out in order to validate its predictive capability in terms of peak and post-peak mechanical behavior.
