Innovative methods of strengthening reinforced concrete structures

Abstract

The article considers some of the most innovative methods of reinforced concrete compressed elements: strengthening of elements with the help of pre-compressed longitudinal reinforcing elements, strengthening by means of concrete padding device, of low strength concrete, to strengthen the elements by biaxial transverse compression of concrete and method is to strengthen the elements with a pre-stretched diagonal reinforcement. The test results on deformation and rigidity of compressed reinforced concrete pillars are given. For each variant of rack reinforcement, depending on their flexibility and the relative eccentricity of the external force, the most technologically and economically feasible method of amplification is proposed.
