Seismic Strength of Reinforced Multi-Storey Masonry Walls

Abstract:

Analysis of force transmission through the various structural components is needed to the full understanding of the seismic behavior of masonry buildings. It is in fact necessary to identify the weak links of the chain and define the essential reinforcements to insert in the structure. In this context the Paper analyzes the strengths of masonry walls under the action of out of plane and in plane horizontal forces and compares the systems of reinforcement of the walls that can use steel or Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRP).
