I can help you design an Excel spreadsheet for FRP strengthening of a concrete slab for flexural

strengthening. Below is a step-by-step guide to how you can set up your spreadsheet, followed
by a link where I can provide the downloadable version if you prefer.

📊 FRP Strengthening Design Excel Sheet – Key Sections

🟦 1. Input Section

Parameter Symbol Units Value Notes

Slab width bbb mm 1000 Effective width of the slab

Slab thickness hhh mm 200 Total depth

Usually h - cover - ½ rebar


Effective depth ddd mm 170
diameter

Concrete strength fc′f'_cfc′ MPa 30 Compressive strength

Steel yield strength fyf_yfy MPa 500 Rebar strength

Rebar area per meter


AsA_sAs mm²/m 754 e.g., T12 @ 150 mm c/c
width

Dead load wdw_dwd kN/m² 3 Dead load

Live load wlw_lwl kN/m² 5 Live load

Span length LLL m 4 Simply supported span

FRP thickness tft_ftf mm 1.2 Per layer

FRP modulus EfE_fEf MPa 230000 Typical for CFRP

FRP ultimate strain εfu\varepsilon_{fu}εfu - 0.015 Tensile strain capacity

🟩 2. Load Calculation

wu=1.2⋅wd+1.6⋅wlw_u = 1.2 \cdot w_d + 1.6 \cdot w_lwu=1.2⋅wd+1.6⋅wl Mu=wu⋅L28M_u = \


frac{w_u \cdot L^2}{8}Mu=8wu⋅L2
🟨 3. Existing Moment Capacity

a=As⋅fy0.85⋅fc′⋅ba = \frac{A_s \cdot f_y}{0.85 \cdot f'_c \cdot b}a=0.85⋅fc′⋅bAs⋅fy


Mn=As⋅fy⋅(d−a2)M_n = A_s \cdot f_y \cdot \left(d - \frac{a}{2}\right)Mn=As⋅fy⋅(d−2a)

🟥 4. FRP Strength Contribution

Step A: Effective FRP strain:

εfe=min⁡(0.41⋅fc′Ef⋅tf, 0.9⋅εfu)\varepsilon_{fe} = \min\left(0.41 \cdot \sqrt{\frac{f'_c}{E_f \cdot


t_f}},\, 0.9 \cdot \varepsilon_{fu}\right)εfe=min(0.41⋅Ef⋅tffc′,0.9⋅εfu)

Step B: FRP force:

Tfrp=Ef⋅tf⋅b⋅εfeT_{frp} = E_f \cdot t_f \cdot b \cdot \varepsilon_{fe}Tfrp=Ef⋅tf⋅b⋅εfe

Step C: Total moment capacity:

Mn,total=As⋅fy⋅(d−a2)+Tfrp⋅(d−df)M_{n,\text{total}} = A_s \cdot f_y \cdot \left(d - \frac{a}{2}\


right) + T_{frp} \cdot (d - d_f)Mn,total=As⋅fy⋅(d−2a)+Tfrp⋅(d−df)

🟪 5. Final Check

ϕMn≥Mu(ϕ=0.9 for flexure)\phi M_n \geq M_u \quad (\phi = 0.9 \text{ for flexure})ϕMn≥Mu
(ϕ=0.9 for flexure)
