Prediction of punching shear strength of two-way slabs strengthened externally with FRP sheets

Research Abstract
Strengthening two-way slabs by using fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) is experimentally and analytically evaluated. Results show that the punching capacity of two-way slabs can increase to up to 40% greater than that of a reference specimen. A three-dimensional FEM program called 3D CAMUI, which was developed at Hokkaido University, was used to simulate the experimental slabs. Very good agreement is obtained in load-carrying capacity and modes of failure. An analytical model based on the numerical simulation
