Strengthening techniques
Various techniques are available for strengthening concrete structures, to increase the load-carrying capacity or else to improve the in-service performance. These include increasing the concrete cross-section, adding material such as steel plate or fibre composites to enhance the tensile capacity and providing additional prestressing.
