<p>The results of experimental research involving nine one-way slabs are detailed in this report. The objective was to investigate the impact of different parameters on the structural performance of these slabs in their absence and with strengthening. Externally bonded CFRP sheets strengthened six of the nine slabs; the three remaining slabs served as control specimens. Before subjecting the specimens to monotonic loading, pre-fatigue damage of 50% and 70% repeated loading was induced. An exhaustive assessment was conducted on each slab, in which it was compared to its control slab. Several crucial elements were incorporated into the evaluation, including the ultimate load capacity, the reason for failure, crack patterns, and load-deflection curves. Examining these metrics was intended to provide insight into the efficacy and structural performance of the employed fortification technology. Compared to unenhanced reinforced concrete slabs (control slab), the highest stresses on slabs supported with bonded CFRP sheets are between 20 and 44% better.
