CYCLIC LOAD BEHAVIOR OF GFRP REINFORCED CONCRETE SHEAR WALL: EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH

Research Abstract
With the establishment of several construction applications of FRP reinforcement, there is a need for a system to resist lateral loads induced from wind and earthquake loads in these constructions. Reinforced concrete shear walls have shown effective performance in resisting lateral loads caused by wind and earthquake loads. Therefore, shear walls are frequently used in parking garages and multi-story buildings exposed to high lateral loading. This research involved testing a shear wall totally
