A Novel and Sustainable Application of Basalt Fibers for Strengthening Unreinforced Masonry Walls
This paper presents the first results of a study aimed at improving the seismic behavior of unreinforced masonry walls by a novel and sustainable application of basalt fibers. Five masonry panels were tested under out-of-plane actions, one of the common way of failure for masonry walls during an ear...
