This specimen was tested until failure up to 1.0 drift. This joint suffered severe damages and diagonal cracks at upper crack at upper column before retrofitted. CFRP were wrapped at corbel, bottom and top of the column. Steel plates with bonding were attached to the two beams and the jointing system. This retrofitted specimen is tested again under lateral cyclic loading up 1.75 drift. Visual observations show that the cracks started at joint when 0.5 drift applied at top of column. Damage of retrofitted beamcolumn joint occurred inside the CFRP and it cannot be seen from outside. Analysis of elastic stiffness, lateral strength, ductility, hysteresis loops and equivalent viscous damping shows that these values are higher than before retrofitting. Therefore, it is recommended to use this type of retrofitting method for beamcolumn joint with corbel which suffers severe damage after the earthquake. </abstract> <index>Open Science Index 84, 2013</index> </article>
