This research work is an experimental program which includes retrofitting of Reinforced Concrete (RC)shear walls. Two identical full scale shear walls (5ʹx10ʹx8ʺ) were tested under quasi static tests and the pattern of crackswas observed before retrofitting. The walls were then repaired and retrofitted using Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer(CFRP) wrap on either sides of walls. Study of failure mechanism before and after retrofitting was carried out. Theenvelope curves and bilinear idealization curves were obtained from the observed back bone data. Performance levelsagainst the story drifts were determined, using ASCE/SEI-41-06 approach. From this study it was concluded that theperformance of the retrofitted walls has greatly improved.
