I cordoli sommitali nelle costruzioni in muratura sono utili per prevenire lo sviluppo di meccanismi di collasso fuori dal piano dei muri perimetrali, mantenere la forma della scatola muraria e ripartire i carichi verticali sulle murature sottostanti. L’efficacia di tale sistema di rinforzo dipende dai materiali impiegati nella sua costruzione, dalle caratteristiche geometriche del cordolo e dagli accorgimenti costruttivi adottati. Nel presente articolo sono proposte e sperimentate alcune soluzioni di cordolature in linea con la natura stessa della costruzione, ovvero in muratura, di pietrame o di mattoni, armata con materiali innovativi (reti in fibra di vetro e cavi in PBO-Poli-parafenilenbenzobisoxazolo) in grado di fornire la resistenza a trazione necessaria. Le prestazioni delle diverse configurazioni di rinforzo sono state testate attraverso prove di flessione su 10 travi di lunghezza 5 m: 8 in muratura di pietrame e 2 in muratura di laterizio

Abstract
For historic constructions, it is known that the application of a ring-beam is an effective method to prevent out-of-plane collapse mechanisms, to avoid the separation of adjacent walls and to facilitate the distribution of vertical compressive loads. However this effective reinforcing method presents some problems, mainly depending on the material used for the ring-beam construction. This paper discusses the problems associated with this reinforcing method and studies a new type of ring beam made of recycled old stones or bricks reinforced at the bed joints with glass-fibre sheets, GFRP (Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer) grids or/and PBO (poly-p-phenylene benzobisoxazole) cords. An experimental investigation has been carried out on 8 full-scale rubble-stone and 2 brickwork masonry ring beams tested in flexure.I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
