Abstract
A big spread out of researches linked to the adoption of composite materials, and, in particular, of Fibre Reinforced Polymers (FRPs), can be recorded in the field of rehabilitation and strengthening of the monumental heritage, usually made of masonry material: typical applications are structural adaptation or improvement of historical constructions for seismic purposes, structural reinforcement of masonry constructions, either for repairing already formed cracks or for preventing the formation of unilateral hinges that can result in the activation of collapse mechanisms in masonry patterns such as arches and vaultes, or for reducing the stress in masonry panels, thus, increasing the loading capacity of the wall.
