Restoration and strengthening of bearing brick columns using TM “MAPEI” materials

Abstract

After the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, many buildings and structures received mechanical, thermal, or combined damages. Quick and high-quality restoration, strengthening, protection of reinforced concrete and brick load-bearing elements of structures of buildings and structures is an urgent problem today. That is why the application of modern technical solutions with the use of composite materials allows in the shortest possible time to restore and strengthening damaged structural elements without the use of material-intensive technologies and additional loading of buildings and foundations. In this article, the technology of restoration and strengthening of load-bearing brick columns using the Mapei FRG System is considered on the example of the restoration of a building in the city of Izyum. As a result, it was possible to restore and strengthen the bearing capacity of all elements of the building in the shortest possible time without the use of complex mechanisms and without additional load.
