The paper shows the test results of strengthening brick walls of buildings and structures with reinforced concrete applications (jackets), made with the use of steel retained forms (SRF) based on expanded steel corrugated mesh.  The efficiency of using steel retained forms for strengthening masonry buildings’ walls, both in unilateral and bilateral variants, has been experimentally proved.
