MONOTONIC TESTING OF UNREINFORCED AND FRP-RETROFITTED MASONRY WALLS PRONE TO SHEAR FAILURE IN AN EARTHQUAKE
A research programme has been initiated in New Zealand to address concerns regarding the seismic performance of shear (diagonal compression) tests were conducted on URM wallettes to simulate the commonly observed diagonal shear failure of in-plane walls in an earthquake. In total, four wallettes were tested, three of which were retrofitted with various configurations of GFRP strips. The unretrofitted wallette failed in a brittle manner. The retrofitted wallettes exhibited a more ductile behaviour. Significant increases in wallette strength and pseudo-ductility were achieved by the application of GFRP.
