A wall reinforcing method including reinforcing members adhered to the wall. The reinforcing members are either pre-cured composite plates or composite members formed in situ, that is, a fabric of reinforcing fibers that is saturated with an adhesive to form the matrix of the composite and to adhere the reinforcement to the wall. The in situ members are either strips of fabric or wide sheets that cover most of the wall. The spacing of the reinforcing members is determined, in one embodiment, by an array of spacing distances. The array, which is preferably in table form, is consulted by the installer who first measures some of the wall parameters and environmental characteristics.
