Abstract

Structural deterioration is a major problem faced in the field of civil engineering. The major reasons for damages are non-engineered construction, improper execution, and wear and tear. Under such conditions, construction is not advisable. Many researchers have subsequently found many new ideas and attempts in which the use of Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) has provided more benefits in strengthening the element without increasing the element's own weight. Nowadays, FRP is increasingly being used in all types of reinforced concrete elements such as beams, columns, slabs, etc. In this paper, GFRP strips are used to strengthen the member. The new attempt will be the application of GFRP strips in number of layers. This paper presents the results based on the analysis of the slabs using ANSYS software. The materials used for this analysis are RC slab with and without GFRP lamination. The slab size is 1500 mm x 900 mm x 100 mm. in which one slab will be laminated by GFRP strips in three layers of same size used for analysis. The results of the analysis clearly show that the use of GRP laminates in three layers in the RC slab significantly increases the strength compared to a conventional slab.
