This paper describes theoretical and experimental studies related to the seismic retrofits of the RC frames containing walls using CFRP materials. Three В“as builtВ” RC frames with or without walls and two В“retrofittedВ” RC frames with walls had been tested under simulated seismic actions. Experimental observations and theoretical analyses indicated that the shear resisting mechanism of the RC squat walls can be modeled as the struts and ties, and that shear strength of squat wall can be reasonably predicted by the softened strut-and-tie model. The test results of the retrofitted squat walls indicated that the CFRP with sufficient end anchorage is an effective retrofitting measure.
