This study pertains to the experimental and theoretical behaviour of slabs strengthened by fibre reinforced polymer (FRP). The experimental results show that FRP significantly increases punching failure stress, resulting in a reduction of slab rotation around the loading column. The theoretical investigation presents a finite element model for the bending of strengthened slabs. The developed model considers the concrete as a 3D multi-layered non-linear material and explicitly takes into account the steel reinforcement and the FRP strips. The proposed model is then used to analyse the effects of a concrete cover on the reinforcement and repairs. In the analysed cases, the results show that an average reduction in the concrete shear modulus, between steel rod and FRP, of more than 30% leads to significant reductions of stress and slab stiffness.
