“…Conservation bodies do not often authorize the use of materials, such as unprotected carbon steel and FRPs, for the monuments in their portfolio. Reinforced-concrete retrofits are also not recommended and often prohibited because of the low compatibility of cement-based products [18].…”

Titanium has exceptional durability, very high specific strength, a thermal expansion coefficient similar to construction materials, low weight density, and its cost has drastically decreased over the last decades. One of the main requirements in conservation engineering is the durability of the retrofit materials and the reversibility of interventions, and a possible interesting solution is the use of titanium alloys coupled with inorganic matrices made of low-cement or lime mortars. Titanium has recently been used to reinforce important masonry and archeological monuments, but little is known about this. Its use is increasing in conservation engineering without adequate knowledge of its characteristics, grades, and properties. This paper summarizes the main features of titanium alloys, its recent applications, and discusses its drawbacks and advantages compared to other retrofit materials and methods. It is demonstrated that titanium alloys can be effectively used in many applications to reinforce masonry structures while complying with requirements in terms of durability, compatibility, and reversibility. Given its mechanical properties, its use in the repair and reinforcement of masonry structures could be particularly interesting in seismically prone areas.

“…New technical solutions, materials, and methods have recently been proposed, and this paper will summarize these in the following. The aim is preserving local distinctiveness of the historic masonry building stock while achieving the objectives in terms of sustainability and structural safety (Forster 2010;Lagomarsino and Cattari 2015;Anzani et al 2018).…”

This paper addresses the problem of sustainability in remediation, retrofit, and seismic upgrading of historic masonry structures. Different rehabilitation techniques and some successful applications throughout the Balkans and Italy are described, with particular emphasis to the shear reinforcement of wall panels. The selected techniques aim at improving the seismic performance, preserving the structures for future generations, having the least impact in altering the architectural and heritage values, as well as being sustainable, in terms of reduced carbon dioxide emissions, reversibility, and low energy consumption. The use of cross-laminated timber (CLT), natural fibers, and fiber-reinforced Polymers (FRP) jacketing with natural lime coatings are discussed. The paper concludes by summarizing key successes of the proposed rehabilitation solutions in conservation engineering and suggests areas in which these could be used with great advantage.

“…This is an extremely important aspect given the creep phenomenon that structures can be subjected to, which occasionally has led to the collapse of historic buildings. [40][41][42] In this sense, diverse research has been carried out, [43][44][45][46][47] although the continuous monitoring of stresses has not been contemplated as a monitoring parameter.…”

Summary The need to obtain the mechanical characteristics for analysis and understanding of the mechanical behaviour of historic buildings is highlighted. Destructive tests and non‐destructive tests are widely used for this purpose; however, they only provide a value associated with a specific instant. Structural health monitoring contributes to the monitoring of specific processes before, during, or after an intervention. Nevertheless, among the available sensors, there is a lack of devices for continuous monitoring of stress variations undergone by masonry structures. In response to this need, a new stress‐measurement device for structural monitoring of masonry structures has been developed. It has the aim of determining the initial stress in masonry structural element and providing continuous control of the evolution of the stress variation. The article describes the design of the device, as well as its implementation in a historic building. Moreover, an assessment is performed of the stress variations registered in comparison with the displacements recorded in the monitored areas, as well as the influence of the thermic fluctuations on these. A good relation was confirmed between these measurements. The results demonstrate that the designed device proved to be a useful tool for monitoring structural strengthening interventions.
