PENA MONDRAGON, Fernando  and  LOURENCO, Paulo B.. Criterios para el refuerzo antisísmico de estructuras históricas. Ing. sísm [online]. 2012, n.87, pp.47-66. ISSN 0185-092X.

Architects and engineers have used a wide variety of repair or strengthening interventions to improve the structural response of ancient masonry structures. Some of these intervention techniques have been specifically implemented to upgrade the capacity of ancient structures to resist earthquakes. The use of these techniques must considerer the action on the original structure, and by the way they affect the integrity and the authenticity of the original materials and the structural features. The purpose of the present document is to review the actual criteria of the strengthening solutions used in restoration of historical structures.

Keywords : Historical structures; strengthening techniques; masonry; strengthening criteria.
