This paper investigates the effectiveness of engineering cementitious composites (ECC) thin layers for seismic strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) short walls with high axial load ratios. Three RC short walls with an aspect ratio of 1.1 were tested under cyclic loading: one control wall and two ECC strengthened walls, adopting two different strengthening layer schemes. The results showed that the failure mode, damage tolerance, lateral stiffness, shear strength, and energy dissipation of the strengthened walls were improved to certain extents. The mesh grid ECC layer was proved an effective and applicable technique, the shear strength and energy dissipation of the corresponding strengthened wall were improved by 37.2% and 33.5%, respectively, and the addition of mesh grid and tie bars in the ECC layer prevented the debonding failure at the ECC/concrete interface. Besides, the shear resistance mechanisms of the test specimens were idealized by the strut-and-tie model, the contribution of cracked ECC tensile strength to shear was considered in the horizontal and vertical mechanisms. The predicted shear strengths of the RC walls agreed well with the test values.
