EVALUATION OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF STRENGTHENING BRICK MASONRY WITH GLASS-FIBER COMPOSITE REINFORCEMENT BASED ON EXPERIMENTAL TESTS

Abstract

The article examines methods for strengthening brick masonry using composite materials. These methods have not become widespread in Uzbekistan because there is no regulatory framework governing their use. The article analyzes existing methods for reinforcing brick masonry and proposes a calculation methodology for these strengthening methods, with conclusions and recommendations based on the results. The aim of the study was to consider the technology and analyze the advantages and disadvantages of each method that should be used when selecting solutions for strengthening masonry. In conclusion, the need for further tests was confirmed in order to validate theoretical findings with practical results.
