TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of accelerated aging on fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) rods were investigated and the experimental data showed that resin properties may strongly influence the durability of FRP reinforcement.

TL;DR: In this article, a Round Robin Test was organized by the RILEM Technical Committee 250-CSM and the Italian association Assocompositi in order to experimentally characterize different FRCM systems composed of PBO, carbon, glass, basalt, aramid and steel textiles embedded in cementitious or lime based mortars.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the experience of a working group within the RILEM Technical Committee 223-MSC "Masonry Strengthening with Composite materials" aimed at developing a standardized, reliable procedure for characterizing the bonding mechanism of masonry elements strengthened with composite materials under shear actions.

TL;DR: In this paper, an analytical model based on Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) is proposed to predict the strength of FRP-confined concrete, which is adapted for the design of FRM-confining concrete and guarantees an improved accuracy with respect the available competitors.

TL;DR: In this article, the mechanical properties of recycled steel fiber-reinforced concrete in terms of workability, compressive and tensile strength, toughness and shear behaviour are analyzed and compared with those of industrial steel fiber reinforced concrete and ordinary Portland concrete.
