Özet

In the last years, tsunami events caused great damages in terms of buildings collapse and casualties. In general, a masonry wall, subjected to tsunami loads, could reach failure for out of plane mechanism (bending and overturning) or in plane collapse (sliding, cracking by diagonal tension and crushing by diagonal compression), depending on the direction of the flow, if it is parallel or perpendicular to the masonry wall plane. In Scientific literature, several solutions can be found on the improvement of structural response using Textile Reinforced Mortars (TRM). The advantages of designing retrofit interventions with innovative strengthening systems have been remarked continuously.
