To　investigate　the　seismic　performance　of　earthquake-damaged　non-ductile　reinforced　concrete　(RC)　frames　retrofitted　with　carbon　fiber　reinforced　polymer　(CFRP),　two　pseudo-static　tests　were　conducted　on　a　1/2　scale　two-span　and　two-story　specimen　before　and　after　its　CFRP　reinforcement.　After　the　RC　frame　was　loaded　to　its　peak　bearing　capacity,　specimens　with　seismic　damaged　parts　strengthened　with　external　CFRP　textile　were　studied　experimentally　to　obtain　their　failure　modes　and　hysteretic　curves.　The　seismic　performance　indexes　of　the　CFRP-retrofitted　frame,　such　as　stiffness,　strength,　ductility　and　energy　consumption,　were　analyzed　and　compared　with　the　initial　intact　frame.　The　results　show　that　the　external　CFRP　reinforcement　has　no　significant　influence　on　the　lateral　strength　and　initial　stiffness　of　the　earthquake-damaged　non-ductile　RC　frame,　but　the　energy　dissipation　capacity　of　the　retrofitted　RC　frame　is　obviously　improved.　The　average　displacement　ductility　factor　of　retrofitted　RC　frame　is　2.81.　When　the　maximum　story　drift　ratio　reaches　1/50,　the　retrofitted　RC　frame　still　has　a　large　safety　margin.　The　retrofitted　earthquake-damage　non-ductile　RC　frames　can　be　used　in　seismic　areas.　©　2020,　Editorial　Department　of　Journal　of　Southwest　Jiaotong　University.　All　right　reserved.
