Abstract: A study is conducted on the strengthening of two-way RC slabs with newly developed polypropylene fabric reinforced polymer (PFRP) composites. Control slabs of 1mx1m is tested under an applied 9-point load and at the salient points the displacements are measured. Slabs with PFRP as tensile reinforcement is placed in both the directions and tested. Another set of slabs with PFRP with additional anchorages at failure crack region, which was observed from testing the previous set of slabs, is tested. The load-displacement graph is plotted for all 3 types and comparison of load capacity of all the 3 different slab types are commented.
