Abstract
The paper deals with enhancing the strength of original masonry with polymer grids by preserving its basic physical properties of strength, stiffness, and potential energy. The behavior of the original masonry is carefully analyzed. The adopted solution for seismic protection of masonry was based on Landau’s Theory of dislocation. The basic idea of the patented method of reinforcing original masonry was related to the vertical joints of the original masonry. The suitable reinforcement for the original masonry should have high strength and long durability. The paper is suggesting some applications of reinforcing the original masonry. The tests on physical models confirm the practical value of the proposed method of reinforcing the original masonry. The numerical models extend the field of application regarding the polymer grids as suitable reinforcements.
