Past earthquakes have shown that the collapse of seismically weak adobe/masonry structures is responsible for most of the fatalities in developing countries. It is, thus, urgent to improve their seismic performance in order to reduce future casualties and to protect the existing housing stock. To encourage seismic retrofitting, inexpensive and easy to implement technical solutions are desirable. Retrofitting by polypropylene band (PP-band) meshes satisfies these requirements. These bands, commonly used for packing, are resistant, inexpensive, durable and worldwide available.
