DESCRIPTION:The seminar provides an overview of the main damages suffered 
 by historic masonry during the recent earthquakes in Italy. The related re
 search on traditional and innovative techniques for the seismic protection
  of masonry structures is presented. By means of an experimental campaign 
 comprising shaking table tests on a full-scale masonry specimen\, the out-
 of-plane behaviour of masonry walls is investigated and the effectiveness 
 of retrofitting with externally bonded composite materials is assessed. Th
 e structural implications in terms of dynamic properties and damage develo
 pment under earthquake loads are also discussed.
