TL;DR: In this article, a new upper bound of the shear strength of reinforced-concrete (RC) beams strengthened with carbon fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets is introduced, which is based on an experimental program carried out on 11 beams with and without transverse steel reinforcement, and with different amounts of FRP shear strengthening.

TL;DR: The results of single-lap shear tests, conducted on specimens with fiber reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) composite strips bonded to concrete blocks, are presented in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the possibility of replacing natural aggregates of traditional concrete with EAF slag and investigate the performance of concrete made with this slag as aggregate according to the ideal grading curve.

TL;DR: In this article, the possibility of partially substituting natural aggregates with Black/Oxidizing Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) slag in concrete production was comprehensively investigated and five recycled and one traditional mixes were produced to identify a convenient substitution ratio for the concrete.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the results of an extensive experimental program on different combinations of basalt fibre textiles and inorganic matrices organized by RILEM TC 250-CSM (Composites for the Sustainable strengthening of Masonry) involving ten European laboratories.
