Structural performance of continuous RC slabs strengthened in negative moment regions with a mineral‐based composite

An experimental programme was proposed and carried out to assess the effectiveness of the mineral‐based composite (MBC) technique for the flexural strengthening of negative moment regions in continuous reinforced concrete slabs. In addition to the testing of the two reference specimens, the experimental programme included the testing of nine continuous RC slab specimens with different strengthening techniques, namely, using ordinary steel bars and MBC material. This experimental programme was conducted to study the failure modes, the load‐deflection behaviour and the failure loads.
