The article presents the most innovative methods of strengthening and (or) seismic strengthening of masonry for use in historical buildings that are of architectural value, for example, in old mosques in Syria, which are architectural monuments. These methods are designed to protect such buildings, many of which are of architectural and cultural value and are on the UNESCO World Heritage List, from cracks of various sizes and directions and from the negative effects of earthquakes that can occur at any time. Carbon fiber reinforced polymer rods (CFRP) rods and stainless steel helical rods are considered. Two mosques in Syria are briefly described as examples of historical masonry buildings, which are architectural monuments and objects of cultural heritage. In the end conclusions are drawn.

Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) strips are widely used all over the globe as a repair and strengthening material for concrete elements. This paper looks at comparison of numerous methods to rehabilitate concrete beams with the use of CFRP sheet strips. This research work consists of 4 under-reinforced, properly cured RCC beams under two point loading test. One beam was loaded till failure, which was considered the control beam for comparison. Other 3 beams were load till the appearance of initial crack, which normally occurred at third-quarters of failure load and then repaired with different ratios and design of CFRP sheet strips. Afterwards, the repaired beams were loaded again till failure and the results were compared with control beam. Deflections and ultimate load were noted for all concrete beams. It was found out the use of CFRP sheet strips did increase the maximum load bearing capacity of cracked beams, although their behavior was more brittle as compared with control beam.

This article describes the results of the development of a high thermal conductivity carbon fiber reinforced polymer based on carbon fiber from pitch and an ENPB matrix modified with a carbon powder of high thermal conductivity. Data of the technological scheme of production and the results of determining the physicomechanical and thermophysical characteristics of carbon fiber reinforced polymer are presented.
