The in-plane performances of brick masonry panels with different retrofitting patterns using glass fibre reinforced polymers (GFRP), have been studied under diagonal compression test. The panels were retrofitted on one side and both sides with diagonal and cross geometrical pattern. It was observed that the inplane strength of the retrofitted patterns increased from 18.05% to 69.84% when compared to unretrofitted specimens. The retrofitted specimens increased the failure load from 26.6 kN (UR) to 69.5 kN FRP retrofitting also increased the diagonal shear strength. It was observed that diagonal shear strength of the retrofitted panels increased from 0.25 MPa to 0.38 MPa when retrofitted with one side, while it goes up to 0.65 MPa 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 shear strength, in-plane strength, stiffness and deformation capacity. This experimental study demonstrates the effectiveness of GFRPs as new strengthening technology for unreinforced brick structures.
