Abstract:
The seminar aims to show and discuss the main results of an experimental campaign performed at the Department of Civil, Environmental and Architectural Engineering, University of Padova, aimed at investigating the behaviour of masonry arched structures strengthened by means of an FRCM (Fabric-Reinforced Cementitious Matrix) and post-tensioned systems applied to the arch intrados.
