“…Studies on strengthening of masonry infilled walls with carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) (Antoniades et al, 2005;Erdem et al, 2006;Binici and Özcebe, 2006;Altın et al, 2008), shotcrete with mesh reinforcement (Kahn, 1984;Alcocer et al, 1996;Acun and Sucuoğlu, 2005;Korkmaz et al, 2010), steel plates (Taghdi et al, 2000a;2000b;Farooq et al, 2006), steel fiber reinforced mortar (Sevil et al, 2011) and prefabricated panel infills (Frosch et al, 1996a;1996b;Frosch, 1996;1999;Baran and Tankut, 2011a;2011b) can be found. In addition, innovative materials such as textiles (Papanicolaou et al, 2011), ferrocement (Topçu et al, 2005;Amanat et al, 2007), epoxy and mortar injection (ElGawady et al, 2004) have also been used in strengthening of the hollow brick infill walls.…”
