Situation

From a general and comprehensive structural analysis carried out by the design office A2P, with solutions adopted for the different pathologies of the building, such as the strengthening of beams with increased cross section by concrete encasement, a solution was adopted for the strengthening of central columns by carbon fibre encasement. In this case, it was found, in general, that the failure of the columns was due to inefficient column lashing. Thus, it was decided to reinforce the columns with carbon fibre sheets.

Solution

Quick to install, easy to install, efficient reinforcement and little intrusion allowing the original cross-section to be maintained.
