Abstract

The use of composite materials in infrastructure repair is still in its infancy. As such, most of the currently available solutions employ relatively dated composites technology and many of the early difficulties experienced in the aerospace, automotive and marine markets have been seen in the early implementation of composites for infrastructure strengthening. This project examines the benefits derived from using aerospace grade materials (Kevlar fabric) in infrastructure repair. It demonstrates that, the use of appropriately engineered repair strategies incorporating high quality pre-impregnated composite materials can provide substantial strength and stiffness improvements to conventional steel reinforced concrete beams.
