The behavior of seven one-half scale masonry specimens before and after retrofitting using fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) is investigated. Four walls were built using one-half scale hollow clay masonry units and weak mortar to simulate walls built in centr ...
This paper compares different models currently used to calculate the shear strength of unreinforced masonry (URM) walls retrofitted using fiber reinforced polymers (URM-FRP). The shear strengths of six recently tested URM-FRP walls were compared to shear s ...
This paper presents the results of in-plane dynamic tests of masonry walls. Five half-scale walls were built, using half-scale hollow clay brick units. Two mo- ment/shear ratios (1.4 (slender) and 0.7 (squat)) and two mortar types (M2.5 and M9) have been i ...
