Reinforcing of a Cathedral Tower with CFRP Laminates

An earthquake in June 2001 in Peru severely damaged the cathedral church of Arequipa that was first built in 1629. The cathedral is one of the most important neo classic monuments of Peru. This paper discusses the rehabilitation and repairing of the cathedral. Because of their light weight, tensile strength and ease of installation, fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites were chosen for the project. Described is the reinforcing strategy of the masonry right tower of the cathedral with carbon FRP laminates, used to provide tensile strength and confinement to the central core of the tower. After completing the CFRP installation, carved stone were placed on top of the laminates to keep the original appearance.
