Advanced composites for strengthening historic structures
1993
The paper deals with the application of uni-directional fibre reinforced plastic (FRP) tendons for reversible strengthening of masonry monuments. The tendons, anchored to the masonry only at the ends, are circumferentially applied on the external face of the structure and post-tensioned to provide horizontal confinement. The relevant properties of FRP prestressing systems are summarised, concepts for their application in masonry structures are presented and a design procedure is proposed.
