Abstract
An innovative high-tech method of strengthening reinforced concrete columns
Incoming article date: 14.10.2024This article presents a new method of strengthening reinforced concrete columns using metal and composite materials. The analysis of existing traditional and modern methods of strengthening of reinforced concrete compressed elements has been carried out and their main disadvantages have been identified, taking into account which a new reinforcement method has been developed. This study presents the results of testing the effectiveness of a new reinforcement method, describes in detail the basic schemes, technology and procedure for performing reinforcement work. The results of the conducted experimental studies are presented. The strength of the control samples was compared with the reinforced ones. Proposals have been developed to strengthen reinforced concrete columns with metal elements arranged longitudinally and composite materials glued in the form of clamps with fibers arranged in the transverse direction.
