In order to reinforce masomy partitions to prevent this crisis cansed by overtnm-ing, it is possible to intervene by laying up materials composed of vertical fibers, so 

In the case of a stretch of the masonry panel having a reinforced unit width subject to the following actions (factored values)  

The reaction shown in C can be calculated by the equation of equilibrium of the rotation around the hinge in A  

The wall section in B, where the fiber-reinforced composite is applied in order to inhibit the formation of the hinge, undergoes a normal stress and a bending moment, being equal to
