Masonry structures can hardly resist tensile loads. For this reason these structures are vulnerable to accidental actions, such as earthquakes, or when they suffer damage that change their geometry conditions, for instead, due to differential soil settlements. This paper presents an ultimate limit state method for checking FRP-strengthened unreinforced masonry sections. The method is similar to the one used for reinforced concrete members, but it is adapted to masonry and FRP laminates particularities. In this proposal a bilinear strength-strain relationship is used and the FRP design strain is limited to take into account different aspects which cause the plate can’t reach its ultimate strength. In particular, it is proposed a “bond reduction factor”, derived from a large bending test database.
