- Description
- Although there are a reasonable number of research works on the behaviour of unreinforced masonry structures, there seems a real need to better understand the impact of various types of retrofitting on the behaviour of masonry structures. Retrofitting unreinforced masonry buildings can improve structural factors such as ductility factor, displacement capacity, stiffness and load resistance of the structure which may help designers and engineers to choose the most efficient methods of retrofitting for different cases. In this paper, different retrofitting techniques for improving the in-plane shear behaviour of masonry walls are considered. The ductility factors for both unreinforced and retrofitted masonry walls are extracted out of available research data. The ductility of the masonry walls retrofitted with different reinforcement techniques are assessed. Some implications are suggested for the values of ductility factors of retrofitted masonry walls.
