Abstract
Generally for seismic strengthening works of existing brick masonry buildings, post-installed anchors are used to structurally combine existing brick walls with reinforcing additional members. However, the mechanical evaluation methods of the anchors have not been established unlike in the case of reinforced concrete structures. It should be needed to propose and the methods in order to conduct practical restoration projects employing such reinforcement technique. This paper summarizes the tension and shear tests of the post-installed anchors in brick walls and shows applicability of the capacity evaluation formula of the post-installed anchors in reinforced concrete structures to those in brick walls.
