Abstract | The Australian love of 'heritage' buildings (most of them are unreinforced masonry (URM)), means that greater attention is required to secure their performance under seismic or impact loading in the future. A research project has been carried out to develop a new, economic and high strength retrofitting technique for masonry structures. A series of experimental testing on URM walls retrofitted with an innovative technique by cable system have been conducted. An analytical model which is based on distinct element method (DEM) is developed to simulate the behavior of retrofitted walls. |
