Abstract
The research emphasizes the necessity of a deep knowledge of the structure morphology, the materials, and their characteristics and eventual the state of damage and its causes when approaching the repair of an historic masonry building,. The relevant damages surveyed in stone-masonry buildings after the Umbria-Marche earthquake (1997–98), together with the contributions of several theoretical and experimental studies carried out in the '90s has confirmed the need to improve the knowledge of the seismic response of old masonry buildings and of the reliability of retrofitting techniques. Retrofitting or repair of this damage is a very difficult task. In many cases grout injection or wall jacketing fail due to incompatibility with the construction technique of the walls. The present paper describes and critically analyses the main repair techniques applied to the repair of stone masonry and their effectiveness.
