Much of the research on the strengthening of masonry structures has focused on
strengthening of unreinforced masonry structures; as a result, most strengthening design …

There are large numbers of existing buildings around the world and in North America
especially in California have been constructed with reinforced masonry since 1930s. These …

Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites have demonstrated poor performance in high
temperature environments where the glass transition temperature of the resin is exceeded …

A natural evolution of ferrocement has been the replacement of the reinforcing steel with
new composite materials. Not only has this addressed the issue of possible durability …

Twelve reinforced masonry (RM) walls strengthened in flexure using Fabric-Reinforced
Cementitious Matrix (FRCM) Composite or Near Surface Mounted (NSM) with cementitious …

Un-reinforced masonry (URM) walls have proven to have low shear strength to withstand in-
plane loads caused by earthquakes. Retrofitting masonry walls with novel materials such as …

This paper presents the results of experimental and analytical investigations of an
unreinforced masonry wall (URM) exposed to continuous tensile-compressive cyclic …

Extensive researches had been done in past years with respect to strengthening masonry
walls in flexure and shear. This paper will cover an assemblage of researcher's …

Strengthening is a common process of upgrading the capacity of structural elements to carry
additional loads. Out-of-plane flexural behavior of reinforced masonry walls, strengthened …

Based on experimental results of masonry walls subjected to low-cycle repeated lateral
loads, this paper analyzes the strengthening and restrainting effects of CFRP in preventing …
