Abstract
The paper presents a short review on some scientific literature developed in the field of protection of historical buildings made of masonry material through the adoption of Fiber Reinforced (FRP) Composites provisions. It mainly focuses on the wide production by the authors, started on the 80s about masonry constructions and then being continued on retrofitting of monumental constructions by means of FRP from late 90s up to now.
Keywords: Ancient buildings, Preservation, Retrofitting techniques, Masonry, Composites, FRP.
