Masonry Panels Composite Reinforcements with Epoxy Matrix, Inorganic Mortar Matrix and PS Polymer Matrix

The study mainly deals with methods of historical masonry panel’s reinforcement, carried out with composite materials and with comparisons among these methods [1, 2, 3]. More in detail, in the last decade an innovative method of structural strengthening of masonry panels was proposed and tested, represented by recently developed composite structural reinforcements with polyurethane matrix [3] and here are carried out comparisons with the previous ones [1, 2]. The obtained results indicate that using highly deformable matrixes allows increasing significantly ductility properties of masonry.
