description One of the reasons that cause the collapse of buildings is deficient short columns, which need to be retrofitted to prevent the collapse of the building in a potential earthquake. External reinforced concrete (RC), steel plates, and fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) jacketing are standard retrofitting methods to retrofit columns to increase their shear capacity. However, in compression shear failure, the effectiveness of steel and FRP jacketing is quite limited due to the premature buckling of the FRP and steel material. On the other hand, RC jacketing is not practical because it requires more labor and covers more architectural places. Thus, the main motivation of this study is to present the effectiveness of a new method to retrofit short columns, including those with dominated shear compression failure. For this purpose, HSPRCC (high-performance steel plate-reinforced cementitious composite) was adapted to retrofit such short columns. This method is a combination of high-performance concrete and perforated steel plates. Short-column specimens representing existing RC buildings were retrofitted using the HSPRCC and tested. Perforated steel plates anchored to the specimen by steel bolts and repair mortar are used as a matrix. The retrofitted specimens were found to exhibit much better performance both in terms of shear strength and deformation capacity. It was also observed that the retrofitting method is effective in contributing to increasing the compression shear capacity.
