The present study addressed the feasibility of reinforced-concrete squat walls totally reinforced with GFRP bars to attain reasonable strength and drift requirements as specified in different codes. Nine large-scale squat walls with aspect ratio (height to length ratio) of 1.33— one reinforced with steel bars (as reference specimen) and eight totally reinforced with GFRP bars—were constructed and tested to failure under quasi-static reversed cyclic lateral loading. The key studied parameters were: (1) use of bidiagonal web reinforcement; (2) use of bidiagonal sliding reinforcement; and (3) web reinforcement configuration (horizontal and/or vertical) and ratio. The reported test results clearly revealed that GFRP-reinforced concrete (RC) squat walls have a satisfactory strength and stable cyclic behavior as well as selfcentering ability that assisted in avoiding sliding shear that occurred in the companion steelreinforced wall following steel yielding. The results are promising regarding using GFRPreinforced squat walls in areas prone to seismic risk where environmental conditions are adverse to steel reinforcement. Bidiagonal web reinforcement was shown to be more effective than conventional web reinforcement in controlling shear-cracks width. Using bidiagonal sliding reinforcement was demonstrated to be not necessary to prevent sliding shear.
