Justification of Strengthening of Reinforced Concrete Structures of an Industrial Building with Composite Materials

The effectiveness of using composite materials as external reinforcement systems on full-scale structures of reinforced concrete beams of industrial buildings, aimed at increasing their bearing capacity are substantiated in the article. It has been established that the strengthening of non-prestressed bending reinforced concrete structures with composite materials based on carbon fibers leads to an increase in their bearing capacity, and the recommended technology for their reinforcement with composite materials is given. The object of study in this work is the reinforced concrete structures of the beams covering the sludge pool of the cement industry with non-stressed reinforcement before and after reinforcement with composite materials. The subject of the study is the bearing capacity of reinforced concrete structures reinforced with composite materials of the sludge pool cover beams. The purpose of the study is analyzing and evaluating the technical condition of the supporting structures in the sludge pool, determining the bearing capacity of reinforced concrete structures reinforced with composite materials, calculating and justifying the external reinforcement of carbon fiber reinforced concrete crossbars of the sludge pool cover.
