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.

Materials Integration

Edited by: Takashi Goto, Zhengyi Fu and Lianmeng Zhang

Online since: March 2012

Description: This special volume on Materials Integration is based upon peer-reviewed papers selected from those presented at the International Symposium on the Global COE program, in conjunction with the 2nd International Symposium on Advanced Synthesis and Processing Technology for Materials (ASPT2011) and the 8th Materials Science School for Young Scientists, Institute for Materials Research, Tohoku University (Kinken-Wakate 2011).
Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
This volume covered the principal research fields of (i) Infrastructural and Bio- materials, (ii) Electronic materials, (iii) Energy and Environmental materials and (iv) Basic materials science. Materials integration is expected to produce a synergistic effect and permit the development and production of non-conventional materials exhibiting new functionalities.
