The load displacement curves, failure mode and ultimate capacity of test specimens were obtained.
Test results indicate that retrofitting with GFRP could enhance the ductility, initial stiffness and energy dissipation capacity of test specimens by 56 144%, 26 46% and 34 118% respectively compared to un-retrofitted test specimens investigated in the present study.
However, the final failure mode as well as the displacement capacity of test specimens were governed by the extent of shear and tensile (vertical) cracks that developed from the bottom brick course.
At large deformations, the overall load-carrying capacity of test structures although benefit from the continuous development of catenary action, was adversely affected by accompanying partial failures such as fracture of beam bottom bars and compressive failure of beam-to-column connections.
The antioxidant capacity of test solutions through the experiments in the present work is expressed as nM of Trolox (Trolox Equivalent Units or TEU nM).
The inhibitory capacity of test samples was presented at half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50).

The tests indicated that the cracks up to 0.25 mm [0.01 in.] did not affect the capacity of tested undercut anchors but caused larger displacements at failure.
The test results indicate that using encased steel shapes can provide a significant enhancement in load carrying capacity, stiffness, ductility and energy absorption capacity of tested beams.
The experimental program has been designed to investigate the influence of the shear span-to-depth ratio on diagonal crack propagation and load carrying capacity of tested beams.
