EXPERIMENTAL AND NUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF TWO-WAY CONCRETE SLABS REPAIRED WITH POLYMER COMPOSITES

Experimental and numerical results of a study on behavior of two-way reinforced concrete slabs repaired and externally reinforced with carbon/epoxy laminates are presented. Unlike the majority of the previous research work, a uniformly distributed pressure was used in loading the large-scale slab specimens. In this program, three 105-inch (2.67 m) by three-inch" (76.2 mm) concrete slabs were tested. No steel reinforcement was used in fabricating the test specimens. Test results indicated that the load carrying capacity of the cracked slab specimen was increased about 475 percent by adding the external carbon/epoxy laminates. A good agreement between the experimental and theoretical results was achieved. (a) For the covering entry of this conference, please see ITRD abstract no. E204495.
