Abstract

This booklet comprises the extended abstracts to be presented at the Ma(gni)FiCo workshop held in Delft, The Netherlands, on 17-18 June 2009. The spirit of this workshop is to have a small gathering with ample time for lively conversation and interaction among the student and faculty researchers. As a partial acronym, Ma(gni)FiCo stands for a Computational Modeling Workshop on Masonry, Fiber-reinforced Composites and Concrete. The theme of the workshop is computational modeling with two primary focus areas – masonry and fiber-reinforced composites (cement-based and polymeric). Several research areas “bridge” these topics, such as the modeling and analysis techniques being used to evaluate these and other brittle materials. Furthermore, several participants are researching structural designs that combine masonry and composites.
