Abstract
In the last two decades, several seismic retrofitting techniques for masonry structures have been developed and practiced and fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) material has been increasingly used due to their high strength/stiffness to mass ratio and easy application. Although much research has been carried out on FRP strengthening of URM structures, most of them have been experimental studies to investigate the effectiveness of retrofitting techniques rather than the development of a rational design model. In addition, more research has been conducted on FRP retrofitted URM walls under out-of-plane loads where flexural behaviour dominates, the research on the shear strength of FRP retrofitted URM walls has been limited. This paper presents a review of research in this area.
