ABSTRACT:
A wall reinforcing system is provided for strengthening of walls formed of masonry or from wood, metal or other structural materials. A basic system comprises utilization of rigid, fiber reinforced polymer plates of a length to extend substantially the full vertical heigth of the wall. These plates incorporate a plurality of filamentary fibers of length to extend the full length of a plate with these fibers formed from carbon, glass or other material exhibiting high tensile strength and are affixed in a cured polymer matrix. A number of these plates are securely fixed to a wall in spaced parallel relationship by a resin bonding agent or by mechanical fastening devices, or by a combination of both. A plate may include a plurality of plates secured in stacked, superposed relationship and ridgidly secured together by a resin bonding agent into a unitary structure. A second system utilizes one or more sheets of flexible fabric-like material that is fabricated with tows of high tensile strength filamentary fibers of carbon, glass or other material. This fabric-like material is secured to the wall by a resin bonding agent with the tows vertically oriented thus utilizing their tensile strength for strengthening of the wall, either alone or in combination with the plates, and providing waterproofing.
