“…Therefore, an efficient reinforcement method is especially needed to mitigate the effects of the opening, including the effects of its size and position. Discontinuous steel fibers were previously utilized and proved to be an efficient and promising technique for improving the tensile capacity and toughness of the original RC structures [10][11][12][13], followed by the inclusion of fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) material in the strengthening and retrofitting fields [14][15][16][17]. However, the cyclic behavior of strengthened slabs, including the cracking performance and ultimate strength, was significantly improved by the addition of synthetic fibers [18].…”

“…In addition to these advantages of opening in slabs, opening with a small size is frequently essential in the slab to accommodate essential services, for instance, electricity, computer network, heating, plumbing, water supply, sewerage, and ventilating risers. While substantial size openings that could amount to the elimination of a large area within a slab panel are sometimes required for stairways and lifts (Mota and Kamara, 2005Ravindra et al, 2017Mahlis et al, 2018and Ravindra et al, 2017).…”
