A new generation of composite materials in the form of Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Matrix (FRCM) was recently used to strengthen the masonry structures. Six small scale masonry columns were tested under monotonic concentric load until collapse; three columns were confined with PBO (short of polyparafenilenbenzobisoxazole)-FRCM jackets, two with basalt–FRCM jackets while an unconfined column was used as a control specimen. The masonry columns investigated have a rectangular cross section 250x250 mm among the overall length equal to 770 mm, and the corners were rounded to a radius of 20 mm. The analysis was conducted varying the confinement ratio i.e. the number of fabric layers for each FRCM system. Obtained results allow evidencing the effectiveness of the confinement and the effect n-layer on the structural response of the masonry columns.

Traditional art of building in Bosnia and Herzegovina comprises brick or stone masonry structures. Most historical buildings belonging to national cultural heritage were made of stone-masonry. The country is situated in seismic active region of South-East Europe. In the case of strong earthquake motion such buildings could suffer heavy damages. Some structural elements of historical buildings, as domes and arches, cracked already by moderate earthquake but without the loss of stability. Substantial damages were caused by recent war disaster. Damages could be accumulated through the history as well. Generally, stone-masonry buildings in Bosnia and Herzegovina can be classified in vulnerability classes between A and C according to European Macroseismic Scale. Design and construction procedures for rehabilitation are presented here with examples of repair and strengthening of mosques, which present historical stone masonry structures dating from the Ottoman period in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Traditional and contemporary materials were used for their rehabilitation. It is important to preserve original forms, especially those of damaged elements. The challenge for structural engineers and architects was to find equilibrium between aesthetical and structural demands.
