Abstract

At the end of 2013 the Commission of the European Communities has funded a research project for the benefit of Associations of Small and Medium Enterprises (SME-AGs), aimed at developing innovative systems for masonry enclosures. The project mainly deals with external partition systems for reinforced concrete framed buildings, i.e. infill walls. The project involves sixteen partners from seven European countries, among which there are seven universities and research centres, five industrial associations and four small and medium enterprises. In the present contribution, an overview of the main objectives and steps of the project is given, together with a general summary of the various construction systems developed by the project partners.
