This work evaluated the increase of axial compressive strength of a structural masonry composed of old ceramic bricks, present in several buildings of historical value, by using a Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP). Due to the precarious state of many buildings of patrimonial interest nowadays, this technics can supply the needs of structural reinforcements in these monuments without large modifications in its original structural and architectural design, respecting certain principles of preservation and safeguarding of society’s material heritage. Tests were performed to determine the axial compressive strength on reduced models. For some models was applied the Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP), placed in two different ways on the sidewalls of the samples. The final result of these tests demonstrated that the use of CFRP in models with composite mortar (cement, lime and sand) increased the axial compressive strength of these old constructive systems about 50%. Thus, the application of CFRP on structural masonry structures can be an alternative in historical buildings’ interventions with pathological manifestations due to lack of structural strength.
