IN-PLANE SHEAR PERFORMANCE OF MASONRY WALLS STRENGTHENED WITH FRP

摘要

The in-plane shear test results of 4-foot by 4-foot unreinforced double-wythe brick wall specimens and lightly reinforced single-wythe CMU wall specimens tested at the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (ERDC/CERL) will be presented. Development of strengthening design parameters based on that testingwill also be discussed. The FRP strengthening was performed using "generic" glass FRP Systems and "generic" carbon FRP Systems applied to one face of the walls.
