Masonry wall panels retrofitted with thermal-insulating GFRP-reinforced jacketing [PDF]
, 2015 Today there is a need to provide thermally efficient walls, while at the same time to increase the mechanical properties of old unreinforced masonry walls that will not require large amounts of energy in the retrofitting or deconstruction processes.

Analysis of confined masonry with Strut and Tie models [PDF]
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2020 Strut & Tie (S-T) models are used quite commonly for the analysis of reinforced concrete structures and in the calculation of masonry structures. Creating the S-T model of the confined masonry is slightly different from models of reinforced concrete or ...

Reinforced masonry shear walls
Bulletin of the New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 1982 Nine 2.4 m high by 1.6 m long reinforced masonry walls (140 mm) were cycled under reverse curvature loading. The walls were designed to investigate the effect of vertical preload and the effectiveness of repair by epoxy grout injection together with certain matters raised by the Draft Code for Design of Reinforced Masonry, in particular effect of ...

Shear strengthening of wall panels through jacketing with cement mortar reinforced by GFRP grids [PDF]
, 2014 This paper gives the results of a series of shear tests carried out on historic wall panels reinforced with an innovative technique by means of jacketing with GFRP (Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastics) mesh inserted into an inorganic matrix.

Review of Out-of-Plane Strengthening Techniques of Unreinforced Masonry Walls
Fibers, 2023 When a seismic load is applied horizontally or laterally on unreinforced masonry walls (URM), the walls behave in two different ways, viz., in-plane (IP) and out-of-plane (OoP).

Experimental evaluation of shear and compression strength of masonry wall before and after reinforcement: Deep repointing [PDF]
, 2008 Masonry presents some inadequacies due to its almost total lack of tensile strength. Typical damage to multiple leaf walls during earthquakes is the loss of bond between the leaves with consequent collapse of the external leaf.
