The use of stainless steel rebars to reinforce masonry structures has become established as an eminently efficient methodology. From among the numerous techniques available, bed-joint structural repointing and superficial reinforcement with rebars or meshes attached to surfaces have become widespread, thanks to the excellent results they have...

The use of stainless steel rebars in the repair of masonry structures is widespread and has traditionally produced excellent results. In these cases, rebars usually present diameters of below 8 mm covered with thin layers of mortar or grout. Research is necessary to characterise bonding under these particular conditions, hitherto unavailable....

Ultra-fine blast-furnace slag binders have recently been introduced to repair masonry. The reduced particle diameter of these binders makes them especially suitable for use as grouts, since this characteristic enables these grouts to fill even the smallest voids. The current necessity and effectiveness of Finite Element Analysis in any process...

The calculation of the true stress and strain values during the tensile test necking phase of smooth ductile metals specimens has been extensively pursued by several authors. A symmetrical neck profile, which leads to axial-symmetrical behaviour, is usually considered. In this study, the neck geometry of Temp-core ribbed bars, the most commonly...

Tensile behaviour of metals beyond the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) must be considered to calculate toughness or absorbed energy till fracture. Structural steels, designed to withstand earthquakes, are the typical material where post necking behaviour can be of paramount importance. This paper deals with the tensile stress-strain behaviour...

El estudio del comportamiento real hasta rotura de los metales resulta de gran interés en la industria ya que permite determinar la tenacidad o energía absorbida durante el proceso de deformación y rotura. En cuanto a los aceros estructurales, existe el interés añadido de conocer su respuesta real ante cargas asociadas a situaciones límites...
