DESCRIPTION:Prof. Gianmarco De Felice\, Roma Tre University\, Italy\nNew s
 trengthening systems based on textiles externally bonded with mortar are c
 urrently used in seismic retrofitting of masonry structures. However\, nei
 ther rules for the design of strengthening\, nor regulation for the produc
 t qualification are yet available. With respect to classical FRP\, these s
 ystems ensure a better compatibility and sustainability\, but a lower bond
  to the substrate\, which could affect the structural performances. The ta
 lk will address current experimental research on these systems\, including
  recent shaking table tests to assess the seismic performance.\nBio:\nGian
 marco de Felice is professor of structural engineering at Roma Tre Univers
 ity and chairman of the Technical Committee RILEM TC 250-CSM "Composites f
 or Sustainable strengthening of Masonry". He has been in charge of project
 s on heritage conservation\, such as the restoration of Abbey of San Cleme
 nte in Casauria supported by the World Monuments Fund after the 2009 L’A
 quila earthquake\, and the restoration of the Farnese Palace in Ischia di 
 Castro\, attributed to Antonio da Sangallo. His current research encompass
 es the seismic assessment of architectural heritage\, the retrofitting of 
 masonry and reinforced concrete structures\, the modelling of soil-structu
 re interaction in settlements induced by excavation\, the development of s
 trengthening systems with mortar-based composites.
