Abstract: The out-of-plane performances of brick masonry panels with different retrofitting patterns using glass fibre reinforced polymers (GFRP) have been studied under three-point loading test. The panels were retrofitted on one side and both sides with different geometric configurations. The retrofitted specimens increased the failure load from 19.6 kN (UR) to 79.2 kN. It was observed that the flexural strength of the retrofitted patterns increased from 31.58% to 150% when compared to un-retrofitted specimens. Also, the bending moment of the retrofitted panels increased from 5.94 kNm to 8.96 kNm when retrofitted with one side, while it goes up to 14.88 kNm when retrofitted with both side as compared to un-retrofitted specimens. Further, it also observed that the panel with cross retrofitting showed more efficiency in terms of flexural strength, bending moment, stiffness and deformation capacity.
