ABSTRACT:
This invention is an apparatus and process for the reinforcing of concrete, wood, or steel columns, beams, or structures. The apparatus includes pre-made reinforcing layers constructed of engineering materials having a high tensile strength and a high modulus that are attached, via an adhesive, or fitted to the element in question to create a reinforcing shell exoskeleton thus increasing the column's compressive, shear, bending, ductility, and/or seismic load carrying capacity.
