Abstract
An innovative method to connect existing orthogonal masonry walls through aramidic FRP bars is presented. The proposed technique has the objective of mobilizing and maximizing the collaboration of intersecting structural elements, thus increasing the overall strength and stiffness of masonry buildings under horizontal forces. The method was experimentally tested to prove its applicability and effectiveness. © 2011 Tsinghua University Press, Beijing and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
