Abstract
Most of the masonry buildings have many structural defects under an earthquake load due to the small tensile force and ductility. In the foreign countries there are many the reinforcing methods of masonry buildings, but the glass fiber sheet reinforcements must be used due to various conditions in Korea. The purpose of this paper is to estimate the seismic capacity of masonry buildings damaged by earthquake and reinforced by Glass Fiber Sheet. On the basis of test results, the maximum base shear force and deformation of the masonry building with GFS were remarkably increased. From the comparison by existing strength equations and test data, the new strength equation of reinforced masonry buildings with GFS was developed.
