Abstract

The use of steel fiber-reinforced concrete panels to strengthen masonry walls is examined. Within the scope of this study, 18 of a total of 24 specimens are manufactured by using concrete panels containing steel fibers at specific ratios to strengthen hollow brick and clay brick walls, while the remainder serve as reference specimens. The shear strength, deformation and energy consumption capacities are then evaluated for each of the different strengthening methods.
