  • Abstract:
  • Finite element analysis (FEA) has become the favourite method of analysis for complex engineering structures. The application of computer software’s to model and analyse the structure is faster, and predominantly cost-effective compared to experimental versions. This paper describes the finite element simulation of the two way RCC slabs with different composite layered retrofitted RCC slabs strengthened with two wrapping techniques (plus and square type of configurations) using Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) fabrics. The FRP used in the workare Carbon, Glass, Basalt and Polypropylene fabrics.The ultimate loads, deflection at ultimate load, deflection contours and the crack patterns of all the slabs are discussed.
