In general, in order to improve the load-resistance capacity of deteriorated-slab structure. Steel plate reinforcement method, glass fiber reinforcement method, and carbon fiber reinforcement method and so forth were used until now. These methods were introduced from foreign countries but in home country, there is not any inspection and systematic study for these reinforcement methods until now. However, neglecting the characteristics of structural behaviors and random application of reinforcement methods make it hard to anticipate the strengthening effect of these methods. Therefore, stainless steel wire mesh strengthening method that is a new technique for reinforcement of deteriorated concrete is developed as a part of research for strengthening the concrete structure. A total of 16 slab specimens with different strengthening conditions were tested under the three point bending test. And form the test results, the stiffness of hysteresis loop, ascending/descending stiffness and energy dissipation capacity of RC slab strengthened by stainless steel wire mesh and permeability polymer mortar were evaluated.
