Strengthening and retrofitting of RC flat slabs to mitigate progressive collapse by externally bonded CFRP laminates

Previous studies indicated that RC flat slabs, especially without drop panels, are of high vulnerability to progressive collapse because no beams could assist in redistributing the axial force previously carried by the lost columns. In order to reduce the likelihood of progressive collapse, necessa...
