Strengthening a reinforced concrete structure with non-standard geometry may require engineering solutions that take into account the characteristics of this structure. Custom geometry can include complex shapes, irregular angles, curvature, and other asymmetrical or unusual elements. Various methods and materials can be used to strengthen such structures. In this article we will describe some of them.
Additional reinforcement
Depending on which part of the structure requires reinforcement, additional reinforcement can be added in the form of rods, mesh or reinforcing fibers. This reinforcement can be placed in areas where reinforcement is required and filled with concrete.
Composite materials
Composite materials such as fiberglass or carbon fiber can be used to reinforce irregular shapes and surfaces. They are lightweight, durable and can be easily attached to a structure. Carbon systems are considered an excellent modern solution today. 
These can be meshes, tapes, ropes or fabrics based on one- or two-directional carbon fiber.
Molded concrete
Molded concrete can be used to create custom elements that fit non-standard structural geometries. These elements can be prefabricated and then installed on site.
Jointless reinforcement methods
These are methods that allow you to strengthen structures without the use of traditional joints and welding. An example would be the use of adhesives with reinforcing fibers to strengthen surfaces.
Design changes
Sometimes, to strengthen a structure with non-standard geometry, it is necessary to make changes to its design. This may involve adding new supports, columns, beams or other elements to distribute the load.
