Shear behaviour of brick–mortar interface in CFRP retrofitted or repaired masonry

The main objective of the PEER–CEA project is to develop structural-damage fragilitymodification functions that reflect the benefit of the cripple wall and sill-anchorage retrofit strategies as a function of shaking intensity. The proposed fragility functions were compared with fragility functions of HAZUS and other available sources. Figure 1.1 shows a typical fragility curve from HAZUS [FEMA 2014]. The accomplished research within the PEER–CEA project can be divided into six major tasks, starting with defining a set of wood-frame buildings that represent light-wood frames on raised foundations in California, which includes possible construction quality and retrofit measures.
