Description	This chapter seeks to contribute to expanding knowledge on the behaviour of brick masonry vaults and the effectiveness of a reinforcement system based on basalt textiles and steel cords, embedded in inorganic matrices, known as Basalt and Steel Reinforced Mortar: basalt reinforced mortar and Steel Reinforced Mortar, respectively. Alternative to the composite materials are inorganic matrix-based composite materials which show advantageous properties and solve some of the drawbacks associated with organic matrices. Externally Bonded composite materials are fast becoming the standard solution for structural strengthening, substituting traditional techniques. Initially, a mechanical characterization of the individual components and the resulting composite material was performed. The matrix mortar of the strengthening composite material was a hydraulic lime mortar. The experimental campaign has shown that the two composite materials are effective solutions for the strengthening intervention, as they enable the masonry structure to carry substantial tensile stresses and prevent brittle failure.
