We report the results of out-of-plane flexural tests of historic brick walls under monotonic loading reinforced by inserting stainless pins. We conducted the flexural tests in the retrofit project of a historic warehouse built in 1902 at Maizuru. The test results indicate significant increase of the ductility by the reinforcement. We found from the esperiment that yielding and/or fracture of stainless pins and fracture of the bond between stainless pins and bricks are the key mechanisms of the out-of-plane flexural failure. From these observations, we present a simple design formula for estimating the out-of-plane flexural strength of the brick walls.
