Fiber Reinforced Polymer and Polypropylene Composite Retrofitting Technique for Masonry Structures

In the current research work, an attempt is made to increase the seismic capacity of unreinforced masonry (URM) structures by proposing a new composite material which can improve shear strength and deformation capacity of URM wall systems. Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) having high tensile and shear...
