In this study, Analysis of masonry structures retrofitted with glass fiber reinforced polymer using finite
element method. by using the same method & analyzing the existing building, dynamic parameters were compared. The
building consists of two stories with wooden floors and stone walls. Stress, shear forces and moment of the structural
members are calculated by ETABS v.16 program. Structural members of the masonry building are modeled as shell
member after the material properties are determined. There’s have been a decrease in the value of stress, moment, shear
forces and periods of the modal when the building was retrofitted by unidirectional GFRP.
