In Situ Testing Evaluation and Numerical Simulation of CFRP-Strengthened Reinforced Concrete Two-Way Slab with Initial Defect by Yepu Sheng, Yu Gong

“…An in situ multi-stage loading test was conducted to evaluate the load-bearing capacity of the CFRP-strengthened slab, and the findings revealed that the mid-span deflection of the two-way slab incrementally reached 1.64 mm after the loading stages, with no observable signs of concrete cracking, debonding, or tearing of the CFRP-strengthened slab. The failure modes indicated a transition from concrete compression damage to CFRP anchorage stress concentrations, highlighting the effective stress distribution and load-sharing synergy provided by CFRP-strengthening. …”
