This study addressed the feasibility of reinforced-concrete squat walls totally reinforced with glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars achieving the strength and drift requirements specified in various codes. Using noncorrodible GFRP bars represents an effective method for overcoming deterioration due to corrosion problems. The previous experimental studies on GFRP-reinforced midrise shear walls showed that GFRP reinforcement can control shear deformation, which ...
