This paper presents a experimental study on performance of reinforced concrete slab under a central point load with respect to yield load, flexural strength and deflection by using CFRP & GFRP sheets. For that ,three slab panels were casted with same size and reinforcement. Except one other two panels were strengthened by CFRP & GFRP sheets. All three panels were tested under a central point load, load were applied up to the failure of specimens. The crack pattern was recorded & deflection was observed at failure load. The behavior of different slabs was compared to find the efficiency of method used. Test results showed that strengthening elements are effective to increase the strength characteristics of reinforced concrete slab.
