Abstract – This paper presents a structural analysis and intervention proposal for a single-family masonry building from 1930 located in Setúbal, Portugal, subjected to seismic actions defined by Eurocode 8. Linear dynamic analysis using SAP2000 identified critical areas with excessive tensile and shear stresses, particularly in interior walls and around openings. Based on ICOMOS principles, three reinforcement strategies were proposed: reinforced plaster, metallic rods, and injection with synthetic mesh. Each method aims to enhance the masonry’s tensile and shear strength while maintaining reversibility and material compatibility.
Keywords – masonry, seismic reinforcement, structural rehabilitation, tensile and shear strength.
