摘要:Masonry structures are the world’s earliest construction systems. Nowadays, it is roughly estimated that the masonry constructions occupy more than 70% of the world dwelling stock. Moreover, a significant part of these structures consist of heritage buildings exhibiting various types of damages. Research programs including numerical and experimental works have been conducted in order to develop new strengthening methods that can improve the structural response and the overall seismic performances of masonry structures with minimum use of resources. Thus, the modern retrofitting techniques use light weight and durable materials that can be easily applied in various strengthening systems. Many of the current retrofitting techniques that are applied to the masonry works are based on fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composite products due to the indisputable advantages of these materials. This paper presents and describes the most recent developments related to the strengthening solutions and technologies of masonry structures.
