Abstract:
This study investigates the size effect on the seismic performance of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP)strengthened shear walls through experimental and analytical approaches. Twelve CFRP-strengthened shear wall specimens with varying widths (600 mm to 1800 mm) and CFRP ratios (0.00 % to 0.21 %) were tested. The results revealed that both nominal shear strength and seismic performance indicators exhibited size-dependent behavior. Specifically, as wall width increased from 600 mm to 1800 mm, the nominal shear strength decreased by up to 40.0 %, while ductility and energy dissipation factors were reduced by 51.2 % and 45.3 %, respectively. Additionally, with an increasing CFRP ratio, the nominal shear strength increases, while the size effect gradually diminishes. Based on these findings, size-dependent formulas were established to describe the influence of structural size and CFRP ratio on the nominal shear strength of CFRP-strengthened shear walls.
