Reinforcement of Masonry Vaults for Seismic Loading
This paper presents a study of masonry reinforcement using fiber grid. A reinforcement system was proposed and initially studied through numerical analyses. Several masonry specimens implementing the fiber grid reinforcement were constructed and tested on a shake table. A comparison of the results from numerical analyses and physical testing found good agreement. Fiber grid reinforcement appears to significantly improve the lateral load resistance of masonry structures. The system can be designed and implemented relatively easily and economically on both existing and new buildings to enhance their seismic resistance.
