The use of externally bonded Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composites as a means of upgrading the flexural capacity of Reinforced Concrete (RC) one-way slabs is experimentally and numerically investigated in this study. A total of four groups of eight slabs were tested under four-point bending. The two slabs of the first group were left unstrengthened to be used as control specimens. The two slabs of the second group were externally strengthened with adhesively bonded pultruded, pre-cured CFRP plates. The four slabs of the last two groups were externally upgraded with unidirectional carbon (or E-glass) fiber fabric impregnated with an epoxy resin. In addition to the experimental program, a numerical investigation utilizing nonlinear Finite Element (FE) analysis was conducted using LS-DYNA software. Besides the eight slabs tested in this study, another eleven slabs were collected from the literature for the purpose of finite element validation. A comparison was made between the experimental and numerical results and good agreement was achieved. Based on FE validation, the numerical analysis was extended to include additional cases to study the effect of axial FRP stiffness and FRP-to-concrete width ratio on the flexural performance of upgraded slabs. As a result of the numerical study, new stiffness and reinforcement parameters were introduced in this research. These parameters were employed in the development of two new formulas for predicting the FRP debonding strain and percent gain in flexural capacity of FRPstrengthened slabs.

Flat plate systems are widely used in reinforced concrete structures. Using of high-strength concrete has been common recently. In the current international codes of practice for concrete structures, the design methods for assessment of punching shear capacity are based on experimental data of flat plates with Normal-Strength Concrete (NSC). The aim of this research is to come up with new formula for punching shear resistance, consistent with data of flat plates made from High-Strength Concrete (HSC). Test results of 61HSC interior slab-column connection specimens were collected from the literature. The available test results were not only compared with current code provisions but with equations proposed by other researchers as well. A new formula for predicting punching shear strength of HSC interior slab-column connections is proposed. An innovative design equation is also suggested.

The multi-story buildings are susceptible to progressive collapse in the event of the removal of one or more columns due to the exposure to blast loads. The lack of structural continuity in precast concrete buildings makes these buildings more vulnerable to progressive collapse as compared to the regular cast-in-situ concrete buildings. This study presents experiments involving two types of detailing of precast beam-column joints using half-scale test specimens when the middle column is suddenly removed. The test specimens represent the most prevalent precast beam-column joints. One conventional cast-in-situ test specimen, having continuous top and bottom beam rebars, was used for comparison. The progressive collapse scenario was simulated by removing the central column support and applying a sudden vertical load on this column at a rate of 100 mm/s until failure. Test results helped in developing better understanding about the progressive collapse potential in the existing precast buildings. This study highlights the need for the rehabilitation of beam-column connections in existing precast buildings and necessitates the need for innovative beamcolumn connections for improving the progressive collapse resistance.
