Abstract
ABSTRACT Confined masonry (CM) buildings experienced some major damages in past earthquakes. Numerous studies have investigated various strengthening techniques to improve the seismic performance of CM walls. A state of the art for strengthening CM structures using externally bonded reinforced cementitious composites, subjected to inplane loads is presented. A database of previous test results was used to evaluate the effectiveness of the strengthening applications. The capacity prediction of strengthened CM walls was performed using available analytical models. A modification of the existing model is proposed by studying the correlation between the experimental parameters and the effective stress.
