Structural Repair and Rehabilitation

Cathodic protection, polymer impregnation, and carbon fiber reinforcement are all commonly used methods for repairing concrete structures damaged by corrosion.

Epoxy injection is used to strengthen concrete elements, seal cracks and prevent water infiltration, and improve the bond between concrete and steel reinforcement.

Sandblasting and repainting, cathodic protection, and metal stitching are all commonly used methods for repairing steel structures damaged by corrosion.

Carbon fiber reinforcement is used to strengthen concrete elements, improve their ductility, and provide seismic retrofitting.

Grouting, helical anchors, and brick stitching are all commonly used methods for repairing masonry structures damaged by cracks.

Helical anchors are used to strengthen masonry structures, stabilize foundations, and repair concrete elements.

Wood replacement, epoxy injection, and chemical treatment are all commonly used methods for repairing timber structures damaged by decay.

Chemical treatment is primarily used to prevent decay in timber structures.

Concrete jacketing, steel plate reinforcement, and fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) wrapping are all commonly used methods for repairing structural elements damaged by fire.

Concrete jacketing is used to strengthen concrete elements, protect them from fire, and improve their seismic performance.

Seismic retrofitting, base isolation, and damping devices are all commonly used methods for repairing structural elements damaged by seismic events.

Seismic retrofitting is primarily used to improve the seismic performance of existing structures.

Blast-resistant design, retrofitting with blast-resistant materials, and energy-absorbing systems are all commonly used methods for repairing structural elements damaged by blast loads.

Blast-resistant design is primarily used to design structures to withstand blast loads.

Fatigue analysis, fatigue life extension, and fatigue retrofitting are all commonly used methods for repairing structural elements damaged by fatigue.
