Strengthening reinforced concrete structures may be required for various reasons, such as structural wear, damage, changes in loads, changes in the functional purpose of the building and other factors. To strengthen reinforced concrete structures, a condition analysis must be performed to determine the best method and materials for strengthening. Below we will talk about several methods and materials that can be used to strengthen reinforced concrete structures.
Surface protection of reinforced concrete
The use of anti-corrosion coatings such as epoxy resins or cement mortars to protect reinforcement from corrosion. Or applying protective coatings to the concrete surface to prevent the penetration of moisture and aggressive chemicals.
Adding additional reinforcement
Strengthening concrete elements can be done by adding additional reinforcement, such as bars or mesh, and pouring them with new concrete. Or the use of fiberglass or fiberglass to improve the characteristics of concrete.
Use of adhesives
The use of adhesives with reinforcing fibers, such as carbon or glass fiber, to strengthen concrete surfaces and composite structures. On our website you can get acquainted in more detail with materials based on carbon fiber, including technical characteristics, areas and conditions of their use, etc. And if you have any questions, you can consult for free at the number: 067 486 42 41.
Installation of additional supports and racks
There is an option to change the design taking into account changes in loads or other technical requirements. This can be done by adding new posts, columns or supports to strengthen the structure and distribute the load.
Underground soil injection
Injection of special compounds under pressure into the soil to raise or strengthen the foundation and reduce settlement.
Recoil systems and shock absorbers
Installation of special systems to reduce vibration, dampen or eliminate shock loads on structures.
Strengthening bridge piers and beams
The use of steel shells or composite materials to strengthen the pillars and beams of bridges. It is important to note that strengthening of reinforced concrete structures must be carried out under the supervision of experienced engineers and in compliance with local building codes and standards. The exact method of reinforcement will depend on the type of damage, the size and structure of the structure, as well as safety and durability requirements.
