Abstract
An experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of CFRP, GFRP and BFRP materials on the strengthening of reinforced concrete slabs. RC slab specimens were tested on a steel frame with four supporting edges. They were centrally loaded with the actuator of an MTS through a steel plate. The strengthening capacity and the failure mode of slabs strengthened with different material systems were determined and compared. A finite element model (using ANSYS program) was used for predicting the failure process of slabs strengthened with different material systems. The predicted and experimental results are in good agreement.
