In this paper, the strengthening of two-way slabs using CFRP sheets is evaluated
experimentally. The reinforcement ratio equal to 1.29% was chosen to serve the purpose of
demarcating the punching shear failure mode. Results show that the punching capacity of
two-way slabs can increase to 40% over that of the reference specimen. However, since
bridge deck slabs directly sustain repeated moving wheel loads, they are one of the most
bridge elements susceptible to fatigue failure. Therefore, this research is designed to
