Concrete Enlargement Technique is a method of structural retrofitting and strengthening It is used to increase bearing load capacity following a modification of the structural design or to restore structural design integrity due to a failure in the structural member.
Concrete Enlargement Technique is used on vertical surfaces such as walls, columns and other combinations such as beam sides and bottoms. It consists of added concrete with longitudinal and transverse reinforcement around the existing structure.
Concrete Enlargement Technique provides several advantages, including increased structural strength, improved ductility, and enhanced resistance to seismic forces and other loads.
Concrete Enlargement Technique allows for the repair and retrofitting of aging or damaged structures, extending their service life and ensuring compliance with updated building codes and safety standards
Concrete Enlargement Technique offers the flexibility to tailor the thickness and reinforcement of the added concrete layer to meet specific design requirements, making it a versatile and effective solution for strengthening existing structures.
