Abstract
In order to improve the behavior of buildings and in order to prevent total collapse, necessary amount of strengthening must be provided. The frame of the test specimen (1/3 scaled, 2-story, 3-bay) is detailed such that it has the common deficiencies of existing buildings in Turkey. Two types of strengthening techniques, namely introducing an infill RC wall, and CFRP strengthened hollow clay tile wall, are investigated. The test specimens are subjected to reversed cyclic quasi-static loading. By means of special transducers, axial force, shear force and bending moment at the base of the exterior columns are measured. Strength, stiffness, and story drifts of the test specimen are determined.
