The findings of an experimental and numerical programme conducted on unreinforced masonry panels made stronger by plastering with textile-reinforced mortar (TRM) are presented in this book chapter. One of the most prevalent building forms worldwide, particularly in seismically active areas like the South and East of Europe, South America, the Middle East, and New Zealand, is unreinforced masonry. The urgent need for these structures' seismic restoration has been made clear by previous earthquakes. Five panels were built, instrumented, and tested in diagonal shear mode to ascertain the efficacy of the TRM plastering technique. Two panels were inspected as a guide. The first reference panel was left unenhanced while the second reference panel was strengthened using a traditional self-supporting cement mortar matrix reinforced with steel meshes. Transversal composite anchors were used to link the final three panels, and one or both faces were strengthened with TRM plastering. The numerical and practical results showed that the TRM systems worked well, especially when applied to both panel facings.
