Structutal retrofitting of masonry buildings

Objective

Objective of this proposal is the development of an innovative reinforcement technology for masonry constructions, which could lead to: - a more rapid building rehabilitation procedure, - an increase of mechanical performance of the overall building to horizontal seismic excitation, - at cost not greater than those of existing technologies. For the above reasons the new approach seems to offer both relevant economic advantages for the SME operators involved and for the users, and relevant enhancement for social safety of the communities
