Abstract: The paper presents an attempt to describe and adapt models of work of masonry structures subjected to reinforcement treatments with composite materials. The formation of a particular failure model is related to the type of reinforcement and its location (extrados, intrados). The models given are not intended to be used for calculations but to illustrate the behaviour of the structure, and may form the basis for assessing the effects of reinforcement applied in other cases.

Keywords: masonry, vault, arch, analysis, model, strengthening, composites
