Abstract: This paper evaluates the effectiveness of different externally bonded glass fiber–reinforced polymer (GFRP) systems for increasing the out-of-plane resistance of infill masonry walls to loading. The research included a ...

Abstract: Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) strengthening systems for infill-masonry walls are typically designed to resist flexural stresses caused by out-of-plane pressure. Previous research has shown that there are potential premature ...
