Research Abstract

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
