Existing reinforced concrete (RC) slabs need punching shear reinforcement due to design defects, structural damage, increased loading, corroded reinforcement bars, and change in the use or function of the buildings. Strengthening methods such as using carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets as...
