    To investigate the post-earthquake repairability of the resilient structure utilizing ultra-high strength bar, an earthquake-damaged piloti-type masonry structure specimen reinforced with ultra-high strength bar was rehabilitated through a composite rehabilitation strategy. The rehabilitation approach incorporated a prefabricated steel sleeve and carbon fiber reinforced polymer was adopted for the frame-shear wall structure at the piloti-storey, along with a combination of steel plate application and steel mesh mortar for repairing the masonry wall. The seismic behavior of the rehabilitated structure was investigated through quasi-static test and OpenSees numerical simulation platform. The results showed that: The piloti-type masonry structure with ultra-high strength rebar showed excellent repairability. The rehabilitation strategy in this study significantly enhanced the stiffness of the damaged recycled aggregate masonry wall, improved the shear resistance of the shear wall, and enhanced the deformation performance of the rehabilitated piloti-type structure. In comparison with the control specimen, the stiffness degradation rate of the rehabilitated specimen decreased obviously, the peak carrying capacity and ultimate drift increased by 21.6 % and 35.4 %, respectively. Moreover, the piloti-storey drift of the rehabilitated specimen can reach 2 %. These research findings serve as a solid foundation for further exploration of post-earthquake repairability in resilient structures and the seismic performance of rehabilitated structures. •The research object was a resilient recycled aggregate piloti-type masonry structure with ultra-high strength bars.•A rehabilitation scheme was proposed for the earthquake damaged specimen.•The seismic behavior of the rehabilitated structure was investigated through quasistatic test and numerical simulation.•The RAC frame-shear wall structure with ultra-high strength bars at piloti-story presented excellent repairability.•The rehabilitated structure still presented satisfactory seismic and resilient performance.
