N2  - This study proposes a potential solution to partially damaged unreinforced masonry  buildings by fiber-reinforced paint. Static and dynamic tests were conducted, using a UTM machine and shake table, respectively, to assess the efficacy of the retrofitting technique. Results showed significant improvement in seismic capacity for retrofitted  masonry, with enhanced performance in both in-plane and out-of-plane tests compared  to unreinforced counterparts. Shake table tests on building models demonstrated the retrofitted structure's ability to withstand large deformations and dissipate energy  effectively. Furthermore, ductility of the retrofitted structures was found to increase,  indicating their ability to sustain large deformations without loss of structural integrity.  Minimal dust emission during shaking table tests emphasized the safety aspect of the  retrofitting method. Overall, the experiment concluded that fiber-reinforced paint is  highly effective for enhancing the seismic resilience of partially damaged brick masonry. In this study, fiber-reinforced paint was the only retrofitting method considered for retrofitting.Thus, future investigations could involve combining localized failure repairs with fiber-reinforced paint to enhance its performance
