Despite the great importance of heritage structures, there are no specific recommendations related to these buildings in the international standards, there are only general requirements and recommendations for masonry buildings. The seismic design according to Euro code 8–3 requires adopting a specific knowledge level to determine the knowledge factor and the method of analysis, however, it is a great challenge for heritage building to get the whole required information for reaching the full knowledge level, with a knowledge factor equals to one. The present study aims to propose recommendations to clarify how to determine the knowledge level for heritage structures that are not covered by codes, based on practical experience in assessing and strengthening heritage buildings. The second goal of the current work is to present a case study that explains the proposed method for strengthening the structural elements in the studied heritage building made of unreinforced masonry brick, where reinforced concrete jackets, steel sections, and GFRP were used to strengthen the structural elements. This building has been strengthened to meet both the structural safety requirements and the specific requirements for brick buildings, taking into account the architectural identity and heritage value of the building.
