NUMERICAL ANALYSIS FOR COMPRESSED CERAMIC HOLLOW BRICK MASONRY COLUMNS STRENGTHENED WITH GFRP MESHES

This article presents the analysis of obtained experimental results for the study of masonry columns which have been strengthened by GFRP confinement after high-level axial compression loading. Ceramic hollow-brick middle-scale models were investigated regarding assumed testing program. The basics of experimental studies were briefly described in the paper. Theoretical study was performed to compare experimental and theoretical values.
