Abstract

In the framework of an experimental program supported by a NATO project, it is aimed to examine the performance of a new strengthening technique for existing buildings using FRP sheets. For this purpose, three preliminary 1/2 scale tests were carried out in Istanbul Technical University. Since lap splicing deficiency in columns has been selected as one of the major factors causing early collapse of buildings, two similar sets of one bay-two story specimens have been fabricated with and without lap splicing deficiency. The early results achieved at the end of tests, and the theoretical predictions are presented in this paper.
