FRP strength technique can increase the lateral strength of masonry walls, but the effect of the presence of pre-damage in the walls before retrofitted has not been studied. In this study, the experimental results from two half-scale RC-brick masonry walls with opening retrofitted with BFRP composite strips are presented. One wall was initially damaged in shear loading up to its maximum strength, and then repaired with BFRP sheets; another one was directly strengthened with BFRP sheets in the same strengthening configuration. All the walls were subjected to cyclic in-plane shear loading up to failure. Compared to the strengthened walls, the repaired masonry wall has almost the same failure mode and FRP strain rule, and slightly lower lateral strength and deformation capacity as well as energy dissipation capacity.
