This lecture covers interventions in historic stone masonry walls, focusing on damage mechanisms, causes, and retrofit techniques such as mortar injections, transversal tie-rods, and jacketing. It also discusses retrofitting techniques for brick masonry walls, including reinforced repointing and textile reinforced mortar. The instructor emphasizes the importance of understanding the structural behavior of masonry walls, addressing root causes of damage, and monitoring the effectiveness of interventions.
