Nineteen tests on masonry samples strengthened with TRM have been carried out to assess this new application method.
After these testing cycles, weight loss of the masonry samples was measured and the durability of each sample was assessed by the percentage of weight lost.
Moreover, two sets of six coupon tests were performed for evaluating the actual axial stiffness of FRP plates glued on masonry samples.
Four point bending tests of full scale masonry samples (1000 width, 3000 mm height) were carried out considering three types of masonry (solid brick, 250 mm thick, rubble stone and cobblestones, 400 mm thick).
With the main purpose to validate the proposed model, numerical analyses are preliminary presented in the paper with reference to experimental bond tests on masonry samples with concave and convex substrate configurations strengthened by glass FRP strips.
The proposed numerical model is used in the paper as a tool for the assessment of formulas specifically devoted to the evaluation of the bond resistance of curved masonry samples strengthened with FRPs.

They examined x-bracing and k-bracing systems and compared them with samples strengthened by concrete and masonry in-filled walls.
Golparvar-Fard et al. (2011) evaluated accuracy of photogrammetry and laser scanning using a masonry block and a site column as samples.
A preliminary experimental work was carried out on samples of the above mentioned masonry blocks for quantifying their key mechanical properties.
