The results of a comprehensive experimental program, aiming at providing a fundamental understanding of the behavior of shear-critical exterior RC joints strengthened with fiber reinforced polymers (FRP) under simulated seismic load are presented in this study. The role of various parameters on the effectiveness of FRP is examined through 2/3-scale testing of eighteen exterior RC joints and conclusions are drawn on the basis of certain load versus imposed displacement response characteristics, comprising the strength (maximum lateral load), the stiffness and the cumulative energy dissipation capacity.
