Publisher's Synopsis
This volume is a collection of edited scientific papers presented at the International Conference on Mechanics of Masonry Structures Strengthened with Composites Materials (MuRiCo5) held in Bologna, Italy (June 28-30, 2017). The aim of this book is to present and review the latest achievements in modelling, testing and controlling masonry structures strengthened with composite materials. The innovative strengthening apparatus here considered consists in composites with continuous fibres (carbon, aramid, glass, PBO, ...) reinforcing polymer or inorganic matrices. The special problems regarding the strengthening of monumental historic constructions, considering appropriate techniques in the domain of Architecture Structural Conservation, are focused in many scientific articles authored by eminent scientists.
