In 2017, a theoretical and experimental investigation was carried out on reinforced concrete beams integrated within the slab thickness, strengthened with carbon fibre elements. Such kind of beams are commonly used in residential buildings throughout the Mediterranean...

We focus on reinforced-concrete frame buildings featuring pivots (pilotis). A common refurbishment technique in these structures involves strengthening masonry infills against out-of-plane failure by applying anti-overturning composite grids. While this intervention...

Back in 2001, we developed our first nonlinear finite element solver, implementing state-of-the-art constitutive models for concrete (rotating crack with transition to scalar damage). The model was validated through comparison with experimental tests in the...
