ABSTRACT:
A system and method for reinforcing at least a portion of a structural member, including at least one chamber or compartment having an interior portion which substantially conforms to the dimensions and geometry of the structural member being reinforced; and a reinforcement material for filling the interior portion of one or more of the compartments or chambers. The reinforcement material filling one or more of the compartments or chambers of the present invention can be a pumpable polymeric material, an heat activated expandable material, or a self-curing material. The compartment or chamber can be a polymeric material, such as nylon, which can be solid, blow-molded, flexible, or expandable depending upon the selected structural member to be reinforced.
